12. Enter the directory in which to create the License Data File. This file will contain your License Activation Keys.

    ---

    Note: GLOBEtrotter Software recommends this default directory location for the License Data File.

    Enter the License Data File directory. [/usr/local/flexlm/licenses]

13. Enter the name of the License Data File to be created.

    ---

    Note: GLOBEtrotter Software recommends this default filename for the License Data File.

    Enter the License Data File name.[license.dat]

14. Provide various information required by the License Manager, including hostname, hostid, and TCP/IP service port numbers for your license servers. If you do not have this information ready, simply select the defaults. When you obtain your License Activation Key, provide the correct information.

    You will need to enter the hostname, hostid, and TCP/IP service port number for each system you would like to use as a license server. Use the "lmhostid" command to determine the hostid to use. You may enter a maximum of five hostname/hostid/tcpip_port triplets.

    For more information on license server specifications, see the accompanying documentation on configuring the license manager.

    NOTE: If you do not yet have a BX License Activation Key, you may simply use the initial default values and fill in the remaining servers at your leisure.

    Enter the hostname of license server machine.
    License Server hostname [ics] ics

    Enter the hostid of the named machine (use hostid).
    Host ID of ics [unset] unset

    Enter the service port for the license manager to use.
    TCP/IP Port to use on ics [7310] 7310

    YES will enter this line in the License Data File...
    SERVER ics unset 7310
    Is this correct? [y] y

    This script cycles, allowing you to provide information on up to five license servers.

    Press ENTER at the hostname prompt to end the server list
    Enter the hostname of license server machine.
    License Server hostname [_end_list_] _end_list_

15. Enter the location of the ICSBX daemon. This is located in {BX}/bin, where {BX} is the directory in which Builder Xcessory was installed.

    Enter the location of the ICSBX daemon.[/usr/bxpro/bin]

16. Optionally install the FLEXlm boot scripts.

    You now have the option of installing the scripts necessary to start the license manager when the system is booted. If you have already installed the license manager for another product and are using that lmgrd, you do may not need to install the boot scripts. If this is the first time you have installed a product licensed with the Flexible License Manager, you will want to install the scripts.

    Install the FLEXlm Boot-time Start scripts? [y] y

    Installing the FLEXlm Boot-time Start scripts...
    ...Done

    Remember, you need to install the product activation key before starting the license manager daemon.

    You can start the license manager immediately. For more information on running the license manager daemon, see "Starting the License Manager Daemon" .

    Start FLEXlm (lmgrd) now? [y] n

    To start the License Manager manually, use the following command line:

    /export/jackal/tmp/aubtst/bin/lmgrd -c
    /export/jackal/tmp/aubst/licenses/license.dat > [logfile] &

    If you have installed the license.dat file anywhere other than in the default location, the installer reminds you of this.

    I M P O R T A N T N O T E

    Because you have installed the license file in a non-default directory or with a non-default name, you will have to set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable when running a licensed product. See the accompanying documentation for more information regarding the use of this environment variable.

    SUCCESS: Product Installed [FLEXlm 3.0]

    List of installed files: /export/jackal/tmp/aubtst/lmsrvr.dat

17. You've now completed the installation of the FLEXlm software. You must now obtain and install your License Activation Key.
