Configuring the Linux RGS Sender to access a floating license
The Linux RGS Sender can be configured to access a floating license by setting the
LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to point at the RGS license server. The format of the
LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is:
portnumber@hostname
If a portnumber isn’t specified, the default port 27000 is used. Examples:
@MyLicenseServer.hp.com (uses default port 27000) @15.2.21.129 (uses
default port 27000) 27002@MyLicenseServer.hp.com
Multiple portnumber@hostname values may be included in the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable,
separated by colons, such as:
27000@15.232.16.2:@MyLicenseServer.hp.com:27002@BackupServer.hp.com
The complete command on Linux would appear as follows:
export LM_LICENSE_FILE=27000@15.232.16.2:@MyLicenseServer.hp.com:
27002@BackupServer.hp.com
The RGS Sender will sequentially examine each listed license server, from left to right, until it finds a
license server containing a valid RGS license.
