FLEXlm installation

Locating executables

Each NAG C Library or IRIS Explorer comes with all required FLEXlm utilities located in the license/bin directory. Depending on the machine where the license server will run you should choose the appropriate platform subdirectory.

Inside such subdirectory, two binary files are available:

  • The lmutil command
  • The lmgrd license daemon
Copy these files to a convenient place on the license server.

Setting up a Unix FLEXlm server

It is possible to start the lmgrd daemon:
  • Manually
  • Automatically at boot time (by modifying Unix startup scripts)
(see FLEXlm Manual Chapter 3 for details). It is recommended to redirect the output of the daemon to a log file.
