Getting Started
- Using multiple port@host in the $LM_LICENSE_FILE can
cause previous VCS releases, which use pre FLEX-LM6.1
daemons, not to work. To work around this problem, put the old
port@host before the new port@host in LM_LICENSE_FILE
variable or simply point to the license file instead of using
port@host, for example:
% setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE 7400@server:7500@server
Here, 7400 is the port on machine "server" where the old license
daemon, viewlgrd, is running, while 7500 is the port on machine
"server" where the new license daemon, snpslmd, is running.
OR
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE /u/edatools/oldvcs/\
viewlmgrd_license.dat:/u/edatools/vcs/\
snpslmd_license.dat
Setting Up Your Environment

created a directory called the installation_dir directory. Set the
VCS_HOME environment variable to the path of this directory as
follows:
% setenv VCS_HOME installation_dir
• PATH environment variable
Set this environment variable to $VCS_HOME/bin. Add the
following directories to your path environment variable:
