    lit adds this license to the Licenses to be Installed pane in the License Installation Tool window.

  14. If you have more licenses to install, click Clear in the Add License window.

    If you requested a redundant license server configuration, click Set up Redundant Server Information in the License Installation Tool window.

To install FLEXlm license manager software, see Chapter 3, Installing Software.

  16. Click Install in the License Installation Tool window to install the licenses listed in the Licenses to be Installed pane.

  19. If the WorkShop Install window is open, click Exit.

  20. If your application server and your license server are different machines, copy the /etc/opt/licenses/LIC_CONFIG_SCRIPT script and run it on each of the application servers that will access the software.

    Running the LIC_CONFIG_SCRIPT script creates an elementary license file on your application server. For information on elementary license files, see Chapter 2 in the Sun WorkShop Installation and Licensing Reference.

  21. Change the owner of the license server daemon (optional).

    The license server daemon is automatically configured to be owned by nobody. The adjust_flexlm_owner script is provided to allow you to change the user name to a valid account. The user name you select starts the license server daemon and has access to the license manager software utilities. Permissions are updated to allow group read and execute privileges for the user name you selected.


    Note -

    If you decide to use a user name that does not exist (for example, flexlm), create the user account before running the adjust_flexlm_owner script.


    Run the adjust_flexlm_owner script by typing the following at a command line:

    # /etc/opt/licenses/adjust_flexlm_owner


    Caution - Caution -

    To avoid potential security risks, do not use root as the user name.


    For your changes to take effect, you must stop the license daemon (if it is running) and restart it. To do so, follow the instructions at the end of the script. Run the adjust_flexlm_owner script at any time to change the user name.

  22. Exit from superuser privileges by typing:

    # exit

  23. Disable remote client access by typing the following:

    % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost - hostname

    Replace hostname with the hostname you used to enable client access earlier in this chapter.


    Note -

    Be sure to type the minus sign (-) in the xhost command.


You are now ready to use your Sun WorkShop development tools.
