Chapter 3: License Configuration Configuring Windows License Servers Configuring Windows License Servers You can use a Windows machine as a license server for server-based license installations. See the following for information about setting up Windows license servers: • Setting up a Windows License Server, on page 3-6 • Starting the License Daemon with LMTOOLS, on page 3-8 • Configuring the Windows Firewall for Client Access, on page 3-10 For supplemental information about setting up WAN license servers or redundant server configurations, see Other License Server Configurations, on page 3-23. Setting up a Windows License Server This procedure shows you how to set up a Windows machine to manage server-based node-locked or floating licenses. The license clients can be Linux, Windows, or Solaris machines. 1. Install the software, making sure that you set up the machine as a license server. For tool-specific details about installation, see Installing the Synthesis Tools, on page 2-2, Installing the Synplify DSP Software, on page 2-6, or Installing the Identify Software, on page 2-13. – If you are setting up a Windows Vista machine as a license server, make sure to upgrade to version 10.8.5 or later of the FLEXnet License Manager software (lmgrd). – If you are installing Identify, check that you have version 10.8.2.1 or later of the license manager (see Verifying the Identify License Manager, on page 3-20 for details.) – Install the software and select the FLEXnet license server for floating licenses option (Select Components menu) when it comes up during the installation process. This option installs the license manager and designates the machine as a license server. It also creates a c:\SynLM directory with the drivers LO for the security keys. ) 3-6 Synopsys FPGA Licensing User Guide, August 2008
Configuring Windows License Servers Chapter 3: License Configuration – If you want this to be a standalone server with only the license manager software, disable the software tool box option during the installation process. – Attach the FLEXid hardware security key to the parallel port or USB connector, as appropriate. See Installing Windows Security Keys, on page 2-16. – Install the FLEXid driver. See Installing the Windows FLEXid Driver, on page 2-18. 2. Set up the license file. – Go to the c:\SynLM directory and create a license.dat file. – Locate your licensing information. For purchased licenses, use the dongle and license sent with the software. For evaluation licenses, obtain a license as described in Configuring Evaluation Licenses, on page 1-6. – Cut and paste the licensing information you received into the license.dat file. – Edit the file and make the following changes: • Replace [server] with the name of the machine that will act as the server. Do not include the brackets. • Make sure that the path to the synplctyd license daemon (path_to_synplctyd) is correct. It should be C:\SynLM\synplctyd.exe. • Replace the TCP number at the end of the SERVER line with a port number that is not in use. If you are not sure of the port number, use the default value, which is usually 1709. The following example shows an edited license file for a server named genie. The backslash at the end of some FEATURE lines is a line-continuation character which indicates that the entry is continued on a second line without a line break. SERVER genie 000F250E0D6E TCP:1709 DAEMON synplctyd C:\SynLM\synplctyd.exe FEATURE synplifydspsl synplctyd 2005.120 15-apr-2005 1 BD60BB706517AEF78361\ NOTICE=CUSTID=N225903325646784 \ SIGN="0001 B095 BD0D C59C 5155 CE83 DBF3 6D0A 741F F0CA 8F33 F098 \ E040 0BB9 0054 E5BD 7E10 8F9E 5F9A 89E3 FE3F" Synopsys FPGA Licensing User Guide, August 2008 3-7
