Synopsys FPGA Licensing Guide

Chapter 3: License Configuration Configuring Solaris License Servers
– Cut and paste the emailed licensing information or enter the
information from the Authorization Form into the license.dat file.
2. Update the SERVER line in the license.dat file with the host name of your
server. The following is the syntax for a SERVER line entry:
SERVER host_name host_id TCP:1709
If you do not know this information, use the hostname and lmhostid
commands to find it.
3. Update the DAEMON entry in the license.dat file to the full path for the
synplctyd license daemon.
– Go to this entry:
DAEMON synplctyd /synplcty/solaris/
synplctyd
– Change the entry as follows, making sure to replace full_path and
toolname_version with the full path to the directory, and the actual
name of the tool directory, respectively.
DAEMON synplctyd /full_path/toolname_version/solaris/synplctyd
4. Set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to point to the local copy
of the license.dat file, as described in Setting the LICENSE_FILE
Environment Variable, on page 3-14.
Starting the Solaris License Manager Daemon
Once you have the license file and LM_LICENSE_FILE variable set up, start the
license manager daemon on the Solaris server. When you start the server
license manager daemon (lmgrd), it automatically starts the synplctyd license
daemon.
If you are using an Identify tool, verify the license manager version before
setting up the daemon (see Verifying the Identify License Manager, on
page 3-20 for details.
1. Make sure you are not logged in as root.
Do not run lmgrd as root LO because it is a security risk to run any program
as root that does not require root permissions (lmgrd does not require
root permission). Use su instead.
