License strings for the software and feature entitlements.FEATURE
To create the license server file on a license server:
1 Log in as root to the license server.
2 Navigate to the licenses directory by typing: cd /usr/discreet/licserv/licenses
3 If the file DL_license.dat does not exist in the directory, create it: touch DL_license.dat
4 Open the file DL_license.dat in a text editor.
5 Enter the information provided by Autodesk in this file. If you are setting up redundant a network
license, there are three SERVER strings. It should be similar to the following snippet
■ For Burn:
SERVER server DLHOST01=886C2B75E8E57E4B03D784C3A2100AC0
VENDOR discreet_l
USE_SERVER
FEATURE flameEDU_x86_64_b_2011_1 2011.99 02-oct-2010 \
■ For Flare:
DAEMON discreet_l discreet_l
USE_SERVER
FEATURE flare_x86_64_2011_discreet_l 2011.999 18-nov-2009 8 \

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 nodes or workstations to get a license
Create a licence file on each computer so that it can get a license from the license server. Do this even if the
server and client are on the same machine.
1 As root, Log in as root, open for editing /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/DL_license.dat. If it doesn't
exist yet, create it.
2 Copy the SERVER, DAEMON, and USE_SERVER lines into the license file. The resulting file should look
similar to:
SERVER server DLHOST01=25231AEF83AD9D5E9B2FA270DF4F20B1
DAEMON discreet_l discreet_l
USE_SERVER
3 Repeat for each computer.
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.
