Start the License Servers

Specify the Master Node

On all three servers, open the safe.lic file, and specify the PRIMARY_IS_MASTER attribute for the SERVER line corresponding to the server you want to be the master license node. The SERVER line that is configured with the PRIMARY_IS_MASTER parameter should also be the first SERVER line.

Example   

SERVER pat 17003456 27009 PRIMARY_IS_MASTER

SERVER lee 17004355 27009

SERVER terry 17007ea8 27009

Start the License Manager

Note  Regardless of which order you start the servers, the server specified above always assumes the master role.

To start the License Manager:

% <FlexServerDir>/lmgrd -c <FLEXServerDir>/safe.lic

This action runs the License  Manager 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 background the application. However, you’ll have to 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.
