Chapter 3: License Configuration Configuring Server-Based Node-Locked Licenses<br />
Configuring Server-Based Node-Locked Licenses<br />
Server-based node-locked license configurations are available for some tools<br />
on Windows and Linux platforms. See License Configuration Tables, on<br />
page 1-3 for details. The following procedure describes how to set up a<br />
Windows or Linux machine with a server-based node-locked license.<br />
1. Install the license manager software on the server.<br />
Refer to the appropriate instructions, according to the kind of machine<br />
you are using:<br />
Windows Configuring Windows License Servers, on page 3-6.<br />
Linux Configuring Linux License Servers, on page 3-13<br />
Solaris Configuring Solaris License Servers, on page 3-17.<br />
2. Update the license file on the server.<br />
See the platform-specific instructions listed above for details.<br />
3. If your software came with a hardware security key, install it. You might<br />
not need to do this step if you are setting up a trial license.<br />
– Disconnect the hardware security key (dongle). This is described in<br />
Installing a Windows Security Key, on page 2-16 (Windows) and<br />
Installing the Linux Sentinel USB Daemon, on page 2-20 (Linux).<br />
– Install the corresponding driver for the dongle.<br />
Windows Install the FLEXid driver as described in Installing the<br />
Windows FLEXid Driver, on page 2-18.<br />
Linux Install the Sentinel USB driver as described in Installing the<br />
Linux Sentinel USB Daemon, on page 2-20.<br />
– Attach the dongle to the port and reattach any hardware you<br />
disconnected earlier.<br />
