5.5 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_i_n_g_F_L_E_X_l_m
A FLEXlm floating license can be installed by using
LicenseManager or by directly entering it into the floating
license file /_v_a_r/_f_l_e_x_l_m/_a_w_<_h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e>._d_a_t, where <_h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e>
is the name of the license server host.
Newly installed FLEXlm floating licenses are not available
for use unless the licensing daemon lmgrd(1M) is running,
and the new contents of the license file have been read.
If the FLEXlm floating license was installed using License
Manager, release 3.3 or higher, License Manager will
automatically start the licensing daemon if it is not
already running, and have the daemon read the license file
with the new floating licenses.
If the license was installed manually, this license will not
be available for use until the license daemon is properly
configured and started as documented in the following
section.
When floating licenses are installed using LicenseManager,
the FLEXlm license server program is automatically started
when you exit LicenseManager.
The FLEXlm license server can be started manually:
////eeeettttcccc////cccchhhhkkkkccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg aaaawwww____fffflllleeeexxxxllllmmmm oooonnnn
////eeeettttcccc////iiiinnnniiiitttt....dddd////aaaawwww____fffflllleeeexxxxllllmmmm ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt
The license server can be stopped using the command:
////eeeettttcccc////iiiinnnniiiitttt....dddd////aaaawwww____fffflllleeeexxxxllllmmmm ssssttttoooopppp
For complete information about installing and using FLEXlm
with Alias|Wavefront products, please refer to your
