Getting your LM-X licensed application up and running takes little to no effort. Depending on what type of licensing you have for the application, you will need the following:
Type of | licenseLicense | What you need |
|---|---|---|
Trial | No license or setup required. | |
Standalone (also referred to as node-locked) | A license file installed on, and often locked to, an individual machine. | |
Network (also referred to as floating or shared) | A license server deployed at your site and a license file that is installed on that license server. (See How to install a license server on Windows for details on installing network licenses.) |
The LM-X End-user Configuration Tool helps you obtain the information your vendor may request from you in order to create your node-locked or floating license. For ; for example, your application vendor may ask for your hostid. This is quickly and easily obtained by running the configuration tool and copy/pasting information from it to send to your vendor.HostID.
The LM-X End-user Configuration Tool also gives you a quick and easy way to add or remove license files from your license path, install a license server, and query a license server , and activate a license (when required by the vendor), all from one simple dialog. These same tasks can also be run from a command line on either Windows or Unix with the LM-X End-user utility.
