Starting the license server daemon
ModelSim EE/PLUS Reference Manual Using the FLEXlm License Manager
-
549
cd /<intall_dir>/modeltech/<platform>
lmgrd -c license.dat >& report.log
where ../<platform> can be sun4, sunos5, hp700, or rs6000.
This can be done by an ordinary user; you do not need to be logged in as root.
Automatic start at boot time
You can cause the license manager daemon to start automatically at boot time by
adding the following line to the file
/etc/rc.boot
or to
/etc/rc.local
:
/<intall_dir>/modeltech/<platform>/lmgrd -c /<intall_dir>/license.dat &
What to do if another application uses FLEXlm
If you have other applications that use FLEXlm, you can handle any conflict in
one of the following ways:
Case 1: All the license files use the same license server nodes
You can combine the license files by taking the set of SERVER lines from one
license file, and add all the DAEMON, FEATURE, and FEATURESET lines
from all the license files. This combined file can be copied to
/<intall_dir>/
license/license.dat
and to any location required by the other applications.
Case 2: The applications use different license server nodes
You cannot combine the license files if the applications use different servers.
Instead, set the LM_LICENSE_FILE (p54) environment variable to be a list of
files, as follows:
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE \
lic_file1:lic_file2:/<intall_dir>/license.dat
Do not use the
-c
option when you start the license manager daemon. For example:
lmgrd > report.log
