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.
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.
