The following steps are designed to get X-Formation's License Statistics up and running on Linux with a FLEXlm/FlexNet server in 10 minutes or less.
Important: When upgrading License Statistics to a new version, be sure to make a backup (see Backing up and restoring the database) and then remove the current installation before installing the new version. The License Statistics installation will not remove the currently installed version and will not install a new version into the same location as a previous version.
Step 1: Download and install License Statistics.
Download the License Statistics installation from the License Statistics download page.
After the download is complete, an installation wizard will step you through the installation procedure.
Note the following:
Step 2: Activate the license.
When the installation is complete, a license activation dialog gives you options to run the trial version of License Statistics or activate your license.
Note that you must re-activate your license whenever you upgrade your license or renew your maintenance. You can open the license activation dialog at any time by clicking Activate License Statistics in the X-Formation License Statistics program group (Start > All Programs > X-Formation > License Statistics > Activate License Statistics).
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:
Step 4: Ensure you have the latest lmutil version.
You must use lmutil v9.2 or newer with License Statistics. (To check your lmutil version, run lmutil -v from a command line.) You can request a download of the newest lmutil version from http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm.
Step 5: Start the service.
Use the init script to start the service.
Step 6: Test that License Statistics is running normally.
