Setup guide

To setup:
1 Install the license server software (page 57) if you do not already have a license server in your network.
2 Get license codes (page 77).
3 Create a license file for a remote license server (page 59).
4 Configure nodes or workstations to get a license (page 78).
5 Optionally Change the default port used by the license server (page 60).
Install the license server software
The license server is a Linux daemon that provides concurrent licenses.
You can install the license server on a workstation or node in your network, or on any 64-bit system running
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop 5.3 with Workstation Option (64-bit), Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4,
Update 3 (64- bit), CentOS 5.3, or CentOS 4.3.
For a redundant network license server configuration, you must install the license server software on all
three workstations selected as license servers.
To install the license server, as root, run on the ./INSTALL_LICSERV from the software installation directory.
Get license codes
To obtain permanent license codes:
1 Log in as root on the license server system and get the unique Discreet host ID for the system by
running: /usr/local/bin/dlhostid.
2 Send the Discreet host ID (including the DLHOST01= part) to the Autodesk Media and Entertainment
Licensing Department either by email [e-mail] or by telephone [phone]
between 8 AM and 8 PM EST (toll-free in North America). Outside of North America, call 1-514-954-7199.
Create a license file for a remote license server
After you receive your license codes, edit the /usr/discreet/licserv/licenses/DL_license.dat license file
on the license server (or all three servers, if you are configuring redundant license servers), and enter the
license codes you received from Autodesk.
The license information contains keywords that identify the license server, as well as the license strings for
products or features.
