When setting up a network license, you must set up a license server. The table below specifies the files required for a network license setup and how they relate to FlexNet/FLEXlm files.
FlexNet/FLEXlm | LM-X |
License server | License server |
Vendor daemon | Vendor daemon |
License file | License file |
Option file | Configuration file |
Note that lmgrd and the vendor daemon are collected into one license server in LM-X.
Instead of specifying port numbers, SERVER lines and optional information in the license file and option file, you specify this information in the license server configuration file, lmx-serv.cfg. Some settings, such as license file and log file paths and port number, may also be specified at the command line, as described in Running the license server from a command line.
When you want to set up your network license server, make sure that you have the lmx-serv-vendor executable, lmx-serv.cfg, and your network license.
