Configuring a Stand-Alone License Server

There are several license server configuration requirements that are handled automatically if your license server is part of a network but which might be overlooked if your license server is a stand-alone machine.

TCP/IP

FLEXlm license manager software requires that TCP/IP be set up and operational before FLEXlm will allow you to access your licensed software. One way to test if TCP/IP is functional is to successfully telnet to the hostname of your license server, which is the machine running the license daemon. For more information, see the tcp man page or see your system administrator.

localhost

If your license server is a stand-alone machine, consider editing your /etc/hosts file to alias localhost to the hostname on the SERVER line in your license file.

No Network Interface Card

If your license server does not have a network interface card, you must configure the operating system on your license server appropriately. To configure a machine to not have a network interface card, follow these steps:

  1. Become a superuser (root) by typing:

    % su

    Password: root-password

  2. Type the following:

    # sys-unconfig

    Your machine will reboot automatically, or you will be prompted to reboot.

  3. Answer the questions as prompted.

    Type no when you are asked whether the system is to be networked.
