License Configuration on Linux

Procedure to configure Floating License

Installation

Download VCollab Vendor Daemon for FLEXlm (VCollab Vendor Daemon for FLEXlm ) and extract the server components into a specific directory on Linux Server

Example: /usr/local/vcollab_lic_server
Configuration on Linux Server

Type the following at a command prompt to start the license server:

>lmgrd -c license_file_path [-l <log file_name>]

Note

1. It’s recommended to keep the server components (lmgrd, ve3d, lmutil, etc…) and license file in the same directory

2. If you experience errors with the license server, a log file makes it easier to debug the problem. So specify a log file when you run a floating license server.

Example:

/usr/local/vcollab_lic_server>lmgrd -c vcollab_license.lic -l vcollab.log
License Server Status

Type the following at a command prompt to verify the license server is running:

>lmutillmstat -a -c <port>@<hostname>

Where <port> is the license port number and <hostname> is the server’s host name
Configuration on client

The environment variable that should be added is as follows

VE3D_LICENSE_FILE = port@server_name

Here, “port” refers to the number at the end of the SERVER line in the license file (27000 is the default) while “server” refers to the hostname of your server as defined in the SERVER line of the license file.

Example: VE3D_LICENSE_FILE = 27000@linux_svr64

Copy the node lock license file(VCollab_License.lic) into a directory

Example :/home/license/vcollab

The environment variable that should be added is as follows

VE3D_LICENSE_FILE = license_file_path

Example: VE3D_LICENSE_FILE=/home/license/vcollab
