The information on this page refers to License Statistics 4.9 or newer, which made changes to the License Statistics installation procedure. If you are running a previous version of License Statistics, see documentation for previous versions. |
The following steps are designed to get License Statistics up and running on Linux, using a FLEXlm/FlexNet server as an example.
Important: When upgrading License Statistics to a new 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 script will be ready to run.
Note the following:
Step 2: Activate the license.
If you are activating the License Statistics license during installation, you can activate your license over the internet, copy the existing license file, or choose a 30-day trial. Otherwise, activate your license online to obtain a license file. You can specify a location for the license file during installation, or by default, the license file will be copied to the license subdirectory of the License Statistics installation directory.
Step 3: Configure License Statistics for your site.
To configure license servers to be monitored by License Statistics, see Adding and editing license servers.
When you configure your license servers:
Change the setting for the query interval time from 10 minutes to 1 minute to generate statistics every minute so you can 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.
Specify the path to your lmutil utility if needed.
Step 4: Ensure you have the latest query tool version.
For example you must use lmutil v9.2 or newer with License Statistics. (To check your lmutil version, run lmutil -v from a command line.).
Step 5: Start the service.
Use the init script to start the service.
Step 6: Test that License Statistics is running normally.
