6 Save and close the file. This file sets up the network licenses available for distribution by the license
server to the Creative Finishing workstations on your network.
Configure the workstation to use a set of redundant license servers
To configure the workstation to use a set of redundant license servers, edit as root
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/DL_licenseNetwork.dat. Create it if it doesn't exist. Add the SERVER, VENDOR
and USE_SERVER strings provided by Autodesk. It should be similar to the following shortened example:
SERVER host01 DLHOST01=886C2B75E8E57E4B03D784C3A2100AC0 27005
SERVER host02 DLHOST01=886C2B75E8E57E4B03D784C3A2100AC1 27005
SERVER host03 DLHOST01=886C2B75E8E57E4B03D784C3A2100AC2 27005
VENDOR discreet_l
USE_SERVER
This file sets up the floating licenses available for distribution by the license server to the Creative Finishing
workstations on your network.
Change the default port used by the license server
To avoid conflicts with other applications or license servers in your facility, you may need to change the
default port setting used by the license server, or license servers in the case of a redundant configuration.
This requires a minor change to the DL_license.dat file on your license server(s), as well as on every
workstation or node.
To change the default port used by a license server:
1 Log in as root to the license server and open /usr/discreet/licserv/licenses/DL_license.dat for
editing.
2 Find the SERVER line. By default, no port number is specified at the end of the SERVER line for a single
license server and the license server uses default port number in the range of 27000-27009. By default,
redundant license servers are set to port 27005.
3 Enter a different port at the end of the SERVER line. The license server can use a default port number
in the range of 27000-27009. For example: SERVER server
DLHOST01=886C2B75E8E57E4B03D784C3A2100AC0 62222
4 Save and close the file, then verify that the new port settings are correct:
/etc/init.d/license_server stop
/etc/init.d/license_server start
cat /usr/discreet/licserv/log/license_server.log
For redundant license servers, reboot each server in close sequence to properly restart the license system.
5 Look for messages similar to the following examples in the output, and verify that the port numbers
are what you requested, e.g.:
15:08:49 (lmgrd) lmgrd tcp-port 62222
15:08:49 (lmgrd) Starting vendor daemons ...
15:08:49 (lmgrd) Using vendor daemon port 12344 specified in license file
15:08:49 (lmgrd) Started discreet_l (internet tcp_port 12344 pid 5013)
