Installing Floating Codewords on UNIX Systems ============================================= The following instructions will guide you through the steps to install your new floating codewords. If you would like more detailed instructions, please refer to Chapter 4 of the "Installation on UNIX Systems" guide. The complete installation guide can be found on the web at: http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/docs/ You should also review the important note about FLEXlm software at the end of these instructions. If your new license.dat file contains more than 1 SERVER line, you have Redundant Server licenses. You must follow the procedure below on each of the SERVER machines. If your new license.dat file contains PACKAGE lines, then you are using ALPS or Packaged licenses. The formatting of the Packaged licenses is critical. Make sure the COMPONENT line is one single continuous line, with no line breaks. For information on setting up FLEXlm options file, please refer to: http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/docs/ Instructions ------------ 1. Save the attached license.dat file to your ADS installation directory: /ads2001/licenses/license.dat Note: The license.dat file must be on the machine that will be your license server. This doesn't necessarily have to be the machine you install and run ADS on. 2. Edit your license.dat file using vi or textedit or other plain text editor and make sure the information on the SERVER and DAEMON lines is correct. (Don't use a word processing editor that could write extra characters to the license.dat file). For example, given a single license server with the following information: hostname: joshua hostid: 807b91e0 FLEXlm software: /ads2001/licenses/bin the license.dat file would look like this (your license.dat will most likely contain more INCREMENT lines): SERVER joshua 807b91e0 1700 DAEMON hpeesofd /ads2001/licenses/vendors/hpeesofd INCREMENT Design_sync hpeesofd 1.7 19-Aug-2002 5 \ DC78130225DF318069EB "s=807b91e0" INCREMENT Graphics_server hpeesofd 1.7 19-Aug-2002 \ 5 9CF88322CE82E9079D3E "s=807b91e0" INCREMENT Layout hpeesofd 1.7 19-Aug-2002 5 \ 4C88E3F2E15E612E855C "s=807b91e0" INCREMENT Schematic hpeesofd 1.7 19-Aug-2002 5 \ EC48638225EB2254DDD9 "s=807b91e0" INCREMENT System_freq hpeesofd 1.7 19-Aug-2002 \ 5 CCA883E2042A3CC2BC52 "s=807b91e0" Your license.dat file may contain PACKAGE and COMPONENT lines if you purchased ALPS or Packaged licenses. If you have more than 1 SERVER line, you need to do this on each of the SERVER machines. Make sure all copies of the license.dat file have correct hostname and path information. SERVER joshua 807b91e0 1700 SERVER mojave 8039fa32 1700 SERVER oasis 8074831b 1700 DAEMON hpeesofd /flexlm/vendors/hpeesofd INCREMENT Design_sync hpeesofd 1.7 19-Aug-2002 5 \ DC78130225DF318069EB "s=807b91e0" . . . Note for HP-UX Users: If your license server is an HP-UX machine, the hostid on the SERVER line will be in hexadecimal. 3. Start FLEXlm on the license server machine. If your license.dat file has more than 1 SERVER line, you need to start FLEXlm on all of the SERVER machines. To start FLEXlm, cd /ads2001/licenses/bin ./lmgrd -c ../license.dat > ../flex.log Check /ads2001/licenses/flex.log file for errors. Once all license servers have started FLEXlm, you can confirm the licenses are available as follows: Check the status of the license server: cd /ads2001/licenses/bin ./lmutil lmstat -a -c ../license.dat | more Run lmdiag to make sure licenses can be checked out: ./lmutil lmdiag -c ../license.dat 4. Before running ADS, make sure you have the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable set to point to the license server. If your license.dat file has more than 1 SERVER line, use the hostname from the first SERVER line. For example: For C-Shell: setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE 1700@joshua For Bourne/Korn/Posix Shell: LM_LICENSE_FILE=1700@joshua export LM_LICENSE_FILE 5. You are now ready to run ADS.
