Maya provided by Alias

Lmhostid is a unique number created for each computer by the lmhostid program provided by alias. This number is required for purchasing a license, and is also called: Hardware Info: System ID.

Purchasing

Make sure you purchase the floating license version, this is the only version that can be floated through a flexlm server. Keep track of the Customer Location Code (CLC).

License

Fill out the license form and select floating here: http://www.alias.com/spar/

Relocation

Relocation is required if you move the flexlm server to another machine, or you have a license file created with 1 hardwareID that you want to use on another server. Alias will provide you with a new license file if you fill in the relocation form: http://www.alias.com/relocation

Installation

Download pdr_LicenseServer10.80_linux.tar.gz which contains lmgrd and sgiawd, necessary executables for starting flexlm with an alias license.dat file.

Download it from:

musashi:/export/mirror/purchased-software/lin

OR

alias.com/glb/eng/community/downloads.jsp

put the license.dat file in the /etc/flexlm directory. Edit the file and replace 'server' with the actual server name.

Client

Create a license file that points to the flexlm server. The file must contain:

SERVER bismarck.iat.sfu.ca 0 7111
USE_SERVER

Put this file in the appropriate place for your OS:

  • Mac: /var/flexlm/aw_client.dat
  • Windows: C:\FLEXlm\aw_servername.dat
  • Linux, IRIX, etc: /var/flexlm/aw_servername.dat

For server debug output:

# tail -f /var/log/flexlm.log
