HP-MPI V2.2 for Linux Release Note

Licensing Policy

If the license needs to be placed in another location which would not be found by the above

search, the user may set the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to explicitly specify the

location of the license file.

For more information, see http://licensing.hp.com.

Installing License Files

A valid license file contains the system hostid and the associated license key. License files can

be named either as license.dat or any name with extension of *.lic (like mpi.lic, for

example). The license file must be copied to the installation directory (default

/opt/hpmpi/licenses) on all runtime systems, and to the license server.

The command to run the license server is:

% $MPI_ROOT/bin/licensing/<arch>/lmgrd -c mpi.lic

License Testing

Build and run the hello_world program in $MPI_ROOT/help/hello_world.c to check for a

license. If your system is not properly licensed, you will receive the following error message:

(“MPI BUG: Valid MPI license not found in search path”)
