Step 3: Configure License Statistics for your site.
Open /usr/xflicstat/xflicstat.cfg in a text editor such as Notepad, and make the following changes:
- Change the setting for UPDATE_INTERVAL from 10 minutes to 1 minute, to generate statistics every minute. This setting will let you quickly confirm that License Statistics is running normally, which you'll do in Step 6. (After you verify that License Statistics is running normally, you should change this setting to a larger value.)
- Uncomment one of the FLEXNET_SERVER lines and enter the information for the server you want to monitor in the format [port]@host, where port is optional (leave blank to use the default port) and host is the name or IP address of the license server. For example, FLEXNET_SERVER = 27000@host1. (If you need to monitor more than one server, you can specify additional servers in the same manner later.)
- Uncomment the LMUTIL_PATH line.
- Save and close the configuration file.
Step 4: Ensure you have the latest lmutil version.
