You need to manually set the number of file descriptors in the shell that starts the lmgrd daemon to something less than 4096. Our suggestion is to use 1024 since that was the default on Solaris 7 systems. To do so:

For csh (and its variants):
% limit descriptors 1024

For sh (and its variants)
% ulimit -H -n 1024

Restart the lmgrd and do a:
% ps -ef

You should see the ICSBX daemon running.

BX 6.1: Yes, just cut and paste the appropriate key into the key request dialog box as BX starts on the platform. Alternatively, if your startup file detects which system type you are using, just set the environment variable above to the appropriate location for that system. EPak and ViewKit share the same evaluation key on both Linux and UNIX, so you can just set it once.

BX 6.0: If you need to evaluate both a UNIX and Linux version of BX PRO with BX 6.0, do the following:

The environment variables ICS_LICENSE_FILE (on Linux platforms) and LM_LICENSE_FILE (on UNIX platforms) are used to specify the location of the BX PRO license file. To set the environment variable

Linux:
For csh (and its variants):
% setenv ICS_LICENSE_FILE /some_path/mylicensefile.dat

For sh (and its variants)
% export ICS_LICENSE_FILE=/some_path/mylicensefile.dat
UNIX:

For csh (and its variants):
% setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE /some_path/mylicensefile.dat

No. Cut the line from the email that delivered the key and paste the exact line into the entry field. The example license line is accurate for UNIX evaluation licenses.
