Read and understand the following steps before attempting to use FLEXlm licensing on Solaris™ or Linux on x86 and x64.
If you purchased an FME floating or single-fixed license for UNIX, copy the solaris2\FlexServer or Linux\FlexServer directories from the FME installation disk, or go to Safe Software’s FTP site and save one of the following files:
This directory contains the lmutil and lmgrd files required to set up a FLEXlm server on UNIX, and it contains the FLEXlm license server software. Install this software on your license server computer, which is the computer that manages the licenses.
Note: Current versions of lmgrd license manager and lmutil end user utilities are also available from the Downloads area of www.flexera.com.
Create a directory for the FLEXlm license server, and extract the contents of flexServer11_8-solaris-sparc64.tar.gz or flexServer11_8-linux-x64.tar.gz into that directory. For example:
% mkdir /opt/FlexServer
% cd /opt/FlexServer
% gunzip < ~/flexserver11_8-solaris-sparc64.tar.gz | tar xf -
This directory is referred to as the FlexServer directory for the remainder of these instructions.
Note: To start the Flex Server, verify that the /usr/tmp directory exists. If it does not exist, create it by entering:
% mkdir /usr/tmp
To start the license server, enter:
% <FlexServerDir>/lmgrd -c <FLEXServerDir>/safe.lic
This action runs the server in the foreground, logging activity to the terminal. To store the log to a file instead, use the -l option:
% ./lmgrd -c ./safe.lic -l safe.log
When a log file is used, lmgrd detaches as a background process, so there is no need to explicitly put the application in the background . However, you must start the server each time the license server host is rebooted. The system administrator can make sure the preceding command is run at system start-up time.
