Setup guide

To set up bandwidth reservation for a group of applications:
1 Open the /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/sw_bwmgr.cfg file in a text editor.
2 In the [Groups] section, add a line for each group of applications you want to define. The syntax of
the line is as follows:
<group_name>=<application_name> <application_name>
where:
<group_name> is the custom name of the group. The group name must not contain spaces and must
not be the same as one of the predefined application names.
Each <application_name> represents the name of an application in the group. This parameter can
take one of the following predefined values: inferno, flame, flint, smoke, stonifiseTool,
publishTool, S+W Server, IFFFS Wiretap Server, or IFFFSTool for other Creative Finishing
command-line tools.
3 After you have defined the group, go to the [Device]section for the appropriate partition and add a
Reservation line for the new group. The syntax is the same as when adding a reservation for a single
application. For example (using the IFFFSTools group from the previous step):
Reservation1=IFFFSTools 50 50
4 Save and close the configuration file, and restart Stone and Wire by typing:
/etc/init.d/stone+wire restart
For additional information on all the parameters in the Bandwidth Manager configuration file, and for a
list of application names you can use when defining reservations, see the comments inside the configuration
file.
Uninstall
1 If you are logged in as the application user in KDE, log out and log back into KDE as root.
2 From the KDE menu, choose Autodesk > Remove Software.
3 Select the packages you want to uninstall in the RPM list on the left (click Select All to select all the
packages), then click the arrow to move them to the RPM uninstall list on the right then click Next.
4 In the Choose folders window choose the application directories you want to remove from the
/usr/discreet directory, and click Next.
5 In the confirmation dialog click Uninstall & Remove. The uninstallation starts and displays details on
the process.
6 Optionally delete the log files associated with a given application version in /usr/discreet/log, or
/var/log/ for Flame.
License your software
You can install the software without a license, but you must license it before you can use it. A floating
license system is used, made up of the following components.
1 License Server: A Linux daemon that provides concurrent licenses to computers on your network as
needed.
2 Licensing clients: Each computer on the network that requests a license from the License Server.
