Refer to the BX PRO 5.0 Installation Notes for a detailed description of the license manager installation script.
When you run the setup
script, the Builder Xcessory automatically starts the license manager installation script. To start the license manager script manually, enter the following on the command line:
The license manager installation script prompts you for the following information:
· Host name, host id, and TCP/IP port number of each machine that will act as a license server
By default, license
. dat
is installed in the following local directory:
However, the license.dat
text file must be accessible to the Builder Xcessory license daemons, and must be available on every system that will run the Builder Xcessory, or act as a license server . We recommend that you NFS mount the directory in /usr/local/flexlm/licenses
, which will then be accessible from any machine on your network.
If necessary, you may NFS mount the directory on another path, and establish a symbolic link back to/usr/local/flexlm/licenses
by entering the following on the command line:
If you NFS mount the directory on another path, and don't want to establish a symbolic link, use the -c
flag for lmgrd
and the LM_LICENSE_FILE
environment variable.
license
. dat
into the local directory of every machine because this makes updating the file difficult. However, if you choose to copy the file into the local directory and want to use a directory other than /usr/local/flexlm/licenses
, you must establish a symbolic link to /usr/local/flexlm/
licenses
or use the -c
flag for lmgrd
and the LM_LICENSE_FILE
environment variable, as shown above.
For additional information, see license.dat (5) .
The installation script uses your responses to the installation prompts and generates the license
. dat
text file. We recommend that you review this file to verify the information. The file is divided into the following three types of code:
Important: If you add, delete, or change a host id, you must contact ICS with the updated information to get a new activation key.
FEATURE
, the feature name (for example, Builder Xcessory), the vendor daemon ( ICSBX
), the version number, the expiration date, the number of licenses that may be run simultaneously, the twenty character activation key, a string describing the feature, and a string which reads "DEMO
" or null
.Warning: Editing the information in the feature lines invalidates your activation key.
