Client: UNIX Installation
Note: After installing the license, if your environment has an old
LM_LI-
CENSE_FILE
setting, you need to unset it as follows:
Bourne or Korn shell:
unset LM_LICENSE_FILE
C Shell:
unsetenv LM_LICENSE_FILE
Or you can explicitly set it to the license file.
Prolifics searches for the license file in the following order:
`
The pathname given by the
LMLicenseFile
variable in your web application
initialization (web only).
`
The pathname given by the
LM_LICENSE_FILE
variable.
`
license.dat
in
licenses
subdirectory of the Prolifics installation
(recommended location).
`
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
.
After you create the
license.dat
file, you can start the license manager. Make
sure that you are using version 5.0 or higher of the license manager daemon,
lmgrd
.
Note: The web application server does not require the license daemon.
To determine the version of lmgrd:
At the command line, type:
ProlificsInstallDir
/util/lmver lmgrd.exe
To start the license manager:
At the command line, type:
ProlificsInstallDir
/util/lmgrd –c
ProlificsInstallDir
/licenses/license.dat>
log
&
where
log
is the name of a log file to which output is redirected.
Starting the license manager does not interfere with another
lmgrd
that might be
running to license another application. However, if you are running
lmgrd
for
previous versions of Prolifics, you must stop the license daemon using
lmdown
and
restart
lmgrd
as described, or run
lmreread
to incorporate new Prolifics license
daemon information.
Note: It is recommended that you add this command to the system startup scripts
file so that the daemon runs automatically when the system is rebooted.
