Licensing Policy for Windows
HP-MPI for Windows uses FLEXlm licensing technology. A license is
required to use HP-MPI for Windows. Licenses can be purchased from
HP’s software depot at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot, or contact
your HP representative.
Demo licenses for HP-MPI are also available from HP’s software depot.
HP-MPI has an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) program that allows
participating ISVs to freely distribute HP-MPI with their applications.
When the application is part of the HP-MPI ISV program, there is no
licensing requirement for the end user. The ISV provides a licensed copy
of HP-MPI. Contact your application vendor to find out if they
participate in the HP-MPI ISV program. The copy of HP-MPI distributed
with a participating ISV will only work with that application. An
HP-MPI license is required for all other applications.
Licensing for Windows
HP-MPI for Windows uses FLEXlm licensing technology. A license file
can be named either as license.dat or any file name with an extension
of .lic. The license file must be placed in the installation directory
(default C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\
HP-MPI\licenses) on all the runtime systems, and on the license server.
You will need to provide the hostname and hostid number of the system
where the FLEXlm daemon for HP-MPI for Windows will run. The hostid
can be obtained by typing the following command if HP-MPI is already
installed on the system:
%MPI_ROOT%\bin\licensing\<arch>\lmutil lmhostid
