3. Copy the edited file to each of the license servers. If all the servers are
not on the same platform, edit the DAEMON entry for each different
machine to point to the correct synplctyd license daemon.
4. On each server, set the SYNPLCTYD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable
to point to the local copy of the license.dat file.
– On a Windows machine, select Start->Settings->Control Panel->System and
set SYNPLCTYD_LICENSE_FILE on the corresponding Variables tab to
the location of the license.dat file (c:\SynLM\license.dat).
– On a Solaris/Linux server, enter the following command:
setenv SYNPLCTYD_LICENSE_FILE /path_to_license_file/license.dat
Starting lmgrd on Redundant Servers
After you have set up the license file as described in Setting up the License File
for Redundant Servers, on page 3-24, set up the license server daemon, lmgrd.
1. Start the lmgrd license server daemon on the first machine.
Depending on the platform, the procedure varies slightly.
Windows Use the LMTOOLS utility, as described in Starting the License
Daemon with LMTOOLS, on page 3-8.
Solaris
Linux
• Change to the platform directory containing the lmgrd
executable.
• Type this command, and specify a directory for a log file to keep
track of license usage and for troubleshooting:
lmgrd -c $SYNPLCTYD_LICENSE_FILE -l
/usr/tmp/lmgrd_synplify.log &
This command specifies /usr/tmp/lmgrd_synplify.log as the log file.
2. Run a status check on the license file to confirm that it started the first
server.
On a Windows machine, do the following:
– Open a command prompt LO and change to the directory where you
installed your Synopsys FPGA tool (for example, C:\Program
Files\Synplicity\fpga_90).
