7.2 MIPSpro Fortran 90 Front End Release Notes
- 2 -
3. _L_i_c_e_n_s_i_n_g__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
3.1 _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
Your copy of the MIPSpro Fortran 90 Compiler
requires a software license in order to operate.
This section defines some important software
licensing terms, describes the basic procedure
for obtaining, installing, and testing a
software license for MIPSpro Fortran 90
Compiler, and lists a web site, addresses, and
phone numbers that you can use to contact
Silicon Graphics License Administration.
For more information about installing and
troubleshooting software licenses you can look
in the CD liner notes or visit the web page:
http://www.sgi.com/Support/Licensing/install_docs.html
on Silicon Graphics' licensing website:
http://www.sgi.com/Products/license.html
For in depth detail on FLEXlm licensing, see the
FLEXlm User's Guide, which covers using and
administering FLEXlm software licenses. The
FLEXlm User's Guide, is included in the system
software documentation; the online InSight
version is in the subsystem
license_eoe.books.FlexLM_UG which is on the IRIX
Development Foundation CD.
Your purchased software is delivered with a
label that includes a temporary license and an
Entitlement ID. The temporary license allows
you to use the software until you obtain your
permanent license. However, your entitlement ID
number makes it possible to obtain your
permanent license instantly through Silicon
Graphics' licensing website or email autobot.
For WEB site and email address see "Contacting
Silicon Graphics License Administration" at the
end of this chapter of the release notes.

3.2 _A__F_e_w__D_e_f_i_n_i_t_i_o_n_s
A software license is a collection of
information that, after installation, allows you
to use a licensed software product on one or
more systems.
The software license information includes the
license type, the license expiration date, a
license password, a system ID number
(/etc/sysinfo -s), and additional information
concerning the license and licensed software.
Floating licenses have the host name
(/sbin/uname -n) as part of the license.
There are two types of software licenses, node-
locked and floating:
3.2.1 _n_o_d_e_-_l_o_c_k_e_d A node-locked license is
installed on a particular system (node) and
allows the licensed software to run on that
system.
For this release there are four different types
of nodelocked licenses each corresponding to a
different product pricing tier.
+o The first tier allows you to run MIPSpro
Fortran 90 on a system of two or less
processors. It contains "CPU 2" in its
VENDOR STRING field.
+o The second tier allows you to run MIPSpro
Fortran 90 on a system of eight or less
processors. It contains "CPU 8" in its
VENDOR STRING field.
+o The third tier allows you to run MIPSpro
Fortran 90 on a system of 32 or less
processors. It contains "CPU 32" in its
VENDOR STRING field.
+o The fourth tier allows you to run MIPSpro
Fortran 90 on a system of any number of
processors. It does not contain a VENDOR
STRING field.

3.2.2 _f_l_o_a_t_i_n_g A floating license allows the
licensed software to run on one or more systems
in the network simultaneously. The number of
systems (nodes) allowed is included in the
software license information.
When an application requires a license from a
license server, the floating license points the
client to the license server (server name and
license file path are included with the license
and copied on all client systems). The FLEXlm
license daemon, lmgrd, is responsible for
checking out/in licenses (tokens) to/from client
systems. As long as the number of licenses
checked out to clients at a given time is less
than the encrypted maximum number of concurrent
users no user is denied access. Once the maximum
number is reached, the next request for a
license will be denied.
Floating licenses have the advantage of cost,
since a license can be shared over many
infrequent users, but they are harder to install
and administer. Floating license check-out times
can also vary depending on the load of the
network and the time needed to reach the license
server.
3.2.3 _E_n_t_i_t_l_e_m_e_n_t__I_D The Entitlement ID is a
15 digit number (shipped with the software)
which allows your permanent license request to
be processed and approved in seconds.
3.3 _O_b_t_a_i_n_i_n_g__a_n_d__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_i_n_g__a__S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e__L_i_c_e_n_s_e
This section explains the procedure for
obtaining and installing a software license:
3.3.1 _M_a_k_e _c_e_r_t_a_i_n _y_o_u _h_a_v_e _y_o_u_r _s_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
_l_i_c_e_n_s_e _i_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n Software license
information is distributed in several ways: by
WEB page, email, FAX, postal mail, or on sheets
of paper included with the product.
If you are updating to this release of MIPSpro
Fortran 90 Compiler from an older release you
- 5 -
need to obtain and install a new license.
If you have received both a temporary license
and a permanent software license, install the
permanent license; do not install the temporary
license.
3.3.2 _I_d_e_n_t_i_f_y _t_h_e _s_y_s_t_e_m _o_n _w_h_i_c_h _y_o_u _w_i_l_l
_i_n_s_t_a_l_l _t_h_e _s_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _l_i_c_e_n_s_e. Because software
license information usually must be installed on
a particular system, follow these guidelines:
If the System ID field says ``ANY,'' then you
can install the license on any system you
choose.
Install a license on the machine which has a
system ID ( /etc/sysinfo -s ) which matches the
system ID in the license.
3.3.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l _t_h_e _s_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _l_i_c_e_n_s_e (_t_e_m_p_o_r_a_r_y
_o_r _p_e_r_m_a_n_e_n_t). Licenses typically come with
complete license installation instructions.
Follow these instructions to install the
license. For more detailed license installation
and trouble shooting information see the web
page:
http://www.sgi.com/Support/Licensing/install_docs.html
Check the ``license type'' listed in the
software license information to find out whether
the license is a node-locked license or a
floating license. The installation procedure
depends on the license type:
You can install the license "manually" or use
the LicenseManager(1M) tool. You can bring up
LicenseManager by choosing ``License Manager''
from the System toolchest.
If the license is a floating license, you may
need to configure the system on which you plan
to install the license as a license server.
3.3.4 _V_e_r_i_f_y _t_h_a_t _t_h_e _s_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _l_i_c_e_n_s_e _h_a_s _b_e_e_n
_s_u_c_c_e_s_s_f_u_l_l_y _i_n_s_t_a_l_l_e_d. To verify that the
software license is working, try running the
MIPSpro Fortran 90 Compiler. The licensed
- 6 -
program in this product is: f90(1). The FEATURE
NAME in the license of this product appears as
f90.
For this release, Fortran 90 compilations will
not be terminated if the license is absent or
incorrectly installed. However, a warning
message similar to the following will be
displayed:
%f90 -c foo.f
Cannot find license file (-1,73:2) No such file or directory
The MIPSpro Fortran 90 Compiler
(license FEATURE string = f90)
requires a license password.
