Updating an existing permanent license
You need Platform to update your permanent license every time you:
◆ Increase the number of licenses for your cluster
◆ Add a separately licensed feature (e.g., License Maximizer) or enable the feature on
additional hosts
◆ Upgrade between major releases (e.g., LSF 5.1 to LSF 6.2)
◆ Upgrade between maintenance releases (e.g., LSF 6.1 to LSF 6.2)
◆ Change your FLEXLm license server host or its host name or TCP port number
Contact Platform at
[e-mail] or your LSF vendor and get an
INCREMENT license key or a new FEATURE line, and follow the steps in “Preparing
and installing a permanent license” on page 43 to update your license.
You do not need to update your permanent license when you:
◆ Remove hosts
◆ Replace hosts without increasing the number of licenses required
If you have problems
◆ Check the LSF_LOGDIR/license.log file for error messages
◆ See problem “2 Host does not have a software license” on page 55 in Chapter 6,
“Troubleshooting LSF Problems” for possible solutions
◆ Contact Platform Support or [e-mail]
For more information
◆ See Administering Platform LSF for more information about working with LSF
licenses and license servers.
