Chapter 3: License Configuration Configuring Linux License Servers
SERVER host_name SKEY=dongle_id TCP:1709
SERVER host_name FLEXID=dongle_id TCP:1709
Replace host_name with the host name of your license server and verify
that the dongle ID matches the serial number on the dongle.
3. Update the DAEMON line in the license.dat file to the full path for the
synplctyd license daemon.
– Go to this line:
DAEMON synplctyd
/synplcty//synplctyd
– Change it to the following, making sure to replace install_dir with
the full path to your installation directory:
DAEMON synplctyd install_dir/linux/synplctyd
4. For Synplify DSP ASIC Edition, you might have to edit the file to avoid
conflict with FPGA-only versions. See Setting up Synplify DSP ASIC
Edition Licenses, on page 3-22 for details.
Setting the LICENSE_FILE Environment Variable
After you have set up the license file, you must set up an environment
variable to point to the local copy of the license.dat file. You do this for both
Solaris and Linux license servers.
1. Set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to point to the local copy
of the license.dat file as described below:
From a C shell % setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE path_to_license_file
From other shells: $ LM_LICENSE_FILE=path_to_license_file
$ export LM_LICENSE_FILE
2. Verify the path to your license file by entering the following at the shell
prompt:
% echo $LM_LICENSE_FILE LO
