LSF_LICENSE_FILE
Syntax
LSF_LICENSE_FILE=
"file_name ... | port_number@host_name"
Description
Specifies one or more demo or FLEXnet-based permanent license files used by LSF.
The value for LSF_LICENSE_FILE can be either of the following:
◆ The full path name to the license file.
UNIX example:
LSF_LICENSE_FILE=/usr/share/lsf/cluster1/conf/license.dat
Windows example:
LSF_LICENSE_FILE= C:\licenses\license.dat
or
LSF_LICENSE_FILE=\\HostA\licenses\license.dat
◆ For a permanent license, the name of the license server host and TCP port number
used by the
lmgrd daemon, in the format port@host_name. For example:
LSF_LICENSE_FILE="1700@hostD"
◆ For a license with redundant servers, use a colon to separate the port@host_names.
For example:
LSF_LICENSE_FILE="port@hostA:port@hostB:port@hostC"
The port number must be the same as that specified in the SERVER line of the
license file.
Multiple license files should be quoted and must be separated by a pipe character (|).
Windows example:
LSF_LICENSE_FILE="C:\licenses\license1|C:\licenses\license2|D:\mydir\license3"
Multiple files may be kept in the same directory, but each one must reference a different
license server. When checking out a license, LSF searches the servers in the order in
which they are listed, so it checks the second server when there are no more licenses
available from the first server.
If this parameter is not defined, LSF assumes the default location.
Default
If you installed LSF with a default installation, the license file is installed in the LSF
configuration directory (
LSF_CONFDIR/license.dat).
If you installed LSF with a custom installation, you specify the license installation
directory. The default is the LSF configuration directory (LSF_SERVERDIR for the
custom installation).
If you installed FLEXnet separately from LSF to manage other software licenses, the
default FLEXnet installation puts the license file in the following location:
◆ UNIX: /usr/share/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
◆ Windows: C:\flexlm\license.dat
