HP SVA V2.0 System Administration Guide

3.2.1 Overview
The license manager service runs on the head node and maintains licensing information for
software on the SVA. You can find additional information on the FLEXlm™ license manager at
the Macrovision Web site:
http://www.macrovision.com
This link is available from the SVA Documentation Library.
The license manager uses a license file to maintain all licenses associated with the SVA. The
/opt/sva/etc/license/SVA.lic file is the license file for the SVA system.
You can update the SVA license file to include a future additional product and to update the
expiration. Under normal operation, you don't need to start or stop the license manager. Under
exceptional circumstances, such as finding that the manager has stopped unexpectedly, follow
the instructions in this section. To install a license, stop the license manager, install the file, and
start the license manager.
Update the license /opt/sva/etc/license/SVA.lic file with the text editor of your choice.
The /var/log/svalicense.log file is the log file for the license manager.
