Chapter 3: License Configuration Tool-Specific License Considerations
Tool-Specific License Considerations
This section discusses some special license requirements for certain tools:
• Verifying the Identify License Manager, on page 3-20
• Setting up Synplify DSP ASIC Edition Licenses, on page 3-22
Verifying the Identify License Manager
The Identify Pro Instrumentor and the Identify/Identify Pro Debugger require
a floating license with version 10.8.2.1 or later of the license manager
daemon. If you are using the Identify product, follow these steps to make sure
you are using the correct version.
1. Check the version of the license manager daemon, using the following
commands:
Windows Server Linux/Solaris Server
lmutil lmver synplctyd.exe*
lmutil lmver lmgrd.exe
lmutil lmver synplctyd*
lmutil lmver lmgrd
* If you have a synd.exe daemon, you must upgrade to version 10.8.2.1
The Identify/Identify Pro RTL Debugger includes version 10.8.2.1 of the
FLEXnet License Manager software for floating licenses. If you are
upgrading from a previous Identify release, make sure that both the
lmgrd and synplctyd license daemons are using the 10.8.2.1 (or greater)
release version of the FLEXnet License Manager software.
If you have the correct version of the license manager daemon, proceed
to setting up your license server (Setting up a Windows License Server,
on page 3-6, Configuring Linux License Servers, on page 3-13, or Configuring
Solaris License Servers, on page 3-17). If you need to upgrade the
license manager, follow the next steps in this procedure
2. Bring down the license server.
LO
– Inform all users that you must bring the license server down to install
the software and that they will be unable to run any of the tools that
were managed by FLEXlm.
