Installation of SlickEdit FLEXnet® Service on UNIX®/Linux® using a License File |
|
|
Below are the full instructions for setting up the FLEXnet Licensing Server to host SlickEdit Concurrent Licenses. Please read each step carefully in its entirety before progressing to the next step. The page is broken in to two sections. Steps 1-5 set up the FLEXnet license server, and step 6 will configure the client machines that will run the SlickEdit product.
Setting up the FLEXnet Service:**If you have an existing SlickEdit License Server running skip to Step 4**
1. Download the FLEXnet server files for the appropriate Linux or UNIX operating system:
• Linux
• Solaris SPARC
• Solaris x86
• HPUX
• AIX
2. Extract the TAR file to any directory (for example /opt/slickedit_server/) using the command:
tar -xvzf nameOfFile.tar.gz
3. Change to the directory where the files were extracted to (if you are not currently in the directory), for example /opt/slickedit_server/flexserver/. The tar command will automatically create and extract to the subdirectory flexserver.
4. If you have not done so already, go to the license generation page and generate your concurrent FLEXnet license file. You will need the Host Name and HostID (MAC address) of the license server as well as your License Fulfillment Code. Please follow the instructions on the license generation page to obtain this information.
5. To start the server run the following command from the flexserver directory:
./lmgrd -c vsflex.lic
Please note that the lmgrd process is only running in the terminal, and will terminate once the terminal has been closed.
Setup for client machines which will run SlickEdit:6. Set the environment variable VSFLEX_LICENSE_FILE on EACH of the client machines that will run SlickEdit. Set the value of VSFLEX_LICENSE_FILE to the port@hostname of the FLEXnet server you set up in the previous steps (e.g. 27000@myserver). This will direct SlickEdit to check the server "myserver" using port 27000 for a SlickEdit license.
Command for BASH shell:
export VSFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=27000@myserver
Command for C-shell:
setenv VSFLEX_LICENSE_FILE 27000@myserver
