HP Micro Focus Object COBOL/UX Release Notes for Version B.12.35

Chapter 3 37
License Management with FLEXlm and COBOL
Installing and Setting Up the FLEXlm License Manager
$ /usr/local/flexlm/bin/lmdiag hpmfcobol
If this does not work, you may need to stop all of the lmgrd processes
on your network and then restart them as described in the section,
“Starting lmgrd (License Manager Daemon)” on page 40.
3. If you did change or add an options file, you will need to shutdown the
lmgrd with lmdown and then restart it to cause the new options file
to be read.
NOTE For more information on FLEXlm utilities such as lmreread and
lmdown, see the section “FLEXlm Utilities” on page 46.
How to Install into a New license.dat File
If HP Micro Focus Object COBOL/UX is your first FLEXlm licensed
product, or you wish to keep the COBOL licensing separate from other
FLEXlm licensed products, complete the following steps:
1. Copy the SERVER, DAEMON, and INCREMENT lines (in that order)
from your License File Certificate into the license.dat file.
The recommended location for the license.dat file is:
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
However, the file can be located anywhere that the license servers
and license clients can reliably access it.
Here is an example of a license file:
Sample License File:
SERVER emerald 30A4B6F7 7788
DAEMON HPCUPLANGS /usr/local/flexlm/vendors/HPCUPLANGS
INCREMENT hpmfcobol HPCUPLANGS 1.000 1-Jan-0000 2 \
BC926DB0AFD3DCEDF257 \
OVERDRAFT=1 ck=90
NOTE License servers access license.dat to determine how many licenses
are available and license clients access license.dat to determine how
to contact the license servers.
