Figure 5-3 Windows processes associated with the FLEXnet license server
NOTE: The Linux FLEXnet license server will have two associated processes, Lmgrd and HPQ.
●
The HPQ.exe “vendor daemon” interfaces to the RGS Sender, and provides HP-specific
functionality for the license server, such as counting RGS floating licenses.
NOTE: Other products, such as HP OpenView, also have a vendor daemon named HPQ.exe.
The different HPQ.exe executables may not be interchangeable. Furthermore, only one HPQ.exe
can be executing at a time on the license server computer. Therefore, a single computer cannot
run two FLEXnet license servers simultaneously.
●
The RGS license does not support FLEXnet's three-server redundancy capability, also known as
triad license servers.
●
During license server installation, the FLEXnet administration utility, LMTOOLS, is installed.
LMTOOLS provides a graphical user interface that allows you to administer the license server.
Using LMTOOLS is described in the next section.
Installing the Windows license server
To install the license server, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the FLEXnet installation executable, Setup.exe, in the following location in the RGS media
file tree:
win32 flexlm Setup.exe
2. Move the Setup.exe file to your license server computer.
3. Double-click Setup.exe to begin installation of the license server. If desired, change the
installation folder to a different folder than the default folder C:\Program Files\Hewlett-
Packard\Remote Graphics FlexLM. If the installation is successful, a dialog indicating
InstallShield Wizard Complete will be displayed.
