HP Micro Focus Object COBOL/UX Release Notes for Version B.13.35

38 Chapter 3
License Management with FLEXlm and COBOL
Installing and Setting Up the FLEXlm License Manager
NOTE The server line contains a port address of 7788. You will need to change
this port address if you have another FLEXlm lmgrd already using port
7788 to serve another license.dat file, or if you have to have some
other process using this port.
NOTE You can verify that the license file is valid by running lmcksum:
$ lmcksum -c /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
2. Create and set up an options file (this is optional).
The options file controls various options such as reservations and
time-outs of licenses. Most users run without an options file, but you
may decide you want to use some options. For more information see
“Vendor Daemon Options File” on page 42 and the GLOBEtrotter
FLEXlm End-User Manual at http://www.globetrotter.com.
If you want to configure an options file in order to more precisely
control your pool of floating licenses, create the following file:
/usr/local/flexlm/options/hpcuplangs.opt
Be sure to specify the full path of the options file as fourth field on the
DAEMON line that you copied from your License File Certificate (see
“Enabling the Vendor Options File” on page 44).
3. Verify that the license.dat file and options file are readable by all
users, but only writable by root. If not, change the permissions of
these files with the following commands:
$ chmod 644 license.dat
$ chmod 644 hpcuplangs.opt
4. Set up the debug log file (this is optional).
This log file contains one line for each checkout and one line for each
check in. If you have a lot of license activity, this log file will grow
very large. You will need to consider where to put this file and how
often to delete or prune it. You can choose not to log messages if disk
space is at a premium.
Note that the log file should be a local file in a user-writable directory
on the license server machine.
