Chapter 3 41
License Management with FLEXlm and COBOL
Installing and Setting Up the FLEXlm License Manager
NOTE If you have more than one SERVER line in your license.dat file, (for
example, if you are using a redundant server configuration), you need to
start lmgrd on all of the machines listed on SERVER lines before
lmstat will show that the licenses are available.
Setting up Client Nodes and User
Environments
In order to obtain a license, every machine that will run HP Micro Focus
Object COBOL/UX must be able to access the license.dat file used by
FLEXlm license server. You can set up access to license.dat through
a local copy or through an NFS mount.
Setting the Path with an Environment Variable
If your license.dat file is not located in the default location
(/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat), you must set and
export the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE and assign it the
value of the fully rooted path to license.dat.
For example in C shell:
% setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE license_file_path
In Korn and Bourne shells:
$ LM_LICENSE_FILE=license_file_path
$ export LM_LICENSE_FILE
Setting the Vendor Daemon Path
The third field on the DAEMON line in the license.dat file specifies
the full path to the vendor daemon used by HPCUPLANGS. The default
daemon path for HPCUPLANGS is
/usr/local/flexlm/vendors/HPCUPLANGS unless hpmfocdsini
was told to install FLEXlm elsewhere.
If you used information produced by hpmfocdsini when you redeemed
your licenses, the path to HPCUPLANGS on the DAEMON line in your
license.dat file should be correct. If the path on the DAEMON line is
incorrect (you may have moved HPCUPLANGS to another directory after it
