Chapter 3: License Configuration Setting up a Linux or Solaris Client<br />
Setting up a Linux or Solaris Client<br />
The standard <strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>FPGA</strong> client license allows you to run a <strong>Synopsys</strong><br />
<strong>FPGA</strong> tool across a network of <strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>FPGA</strong>-supported Windows, Solaris,<br />
and Linux systems, up to the number of seats your license supports. The<br />
following procedure describes how to set up a Linux or Solaris client for a<br />
license server. You can use this procedure to set up a standard or evaluation<br />
license.<br />
1. Install the software as described in Installing from a CD (Solaris or Linux),<br />
on page 2-3 or Downloading from the <strong>Synopsys</strong> Website (Solaris/Linux),<br />
on page 2-4.<br />
2. Set up your license server.<br />
You can configure any <strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>FPGA</strong>-supported Windows, Linux, or<br />
Solaris workstation as the license server. See the appropriate sections<br />
for details: Configuring Windows License Servers, on page 3-6, Configuring<br />
Linux License Servers, on page 3-13, and Configuring Solaris<br />
License Servers, on page 3-17.<br />
3. Obtain the port_number and host_name information for your license server.<br />
If you are using a redundant server configuration, find this information<br />
for each of the servers.<br />
– Check the SERVER line in your license.dat file on the license server.<br />
The following is a typical SERVER entry for a single-server<br />
configuration. In this entry, SERVER is a keyword, lysithea is the host<br />
name of the server, 12345678 is the host ID of the server, and 1701 is<br />
the port number.<br />
SERVER lysithea 12345678 1701<br />
– Concatenate the port number and server name from the SERVER<br />
entry to create the port_number@host_name string. For the example, the<br />
port_number@host_name string is 1701@lysithea.<br />
4. Set the SYNPLCTYD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable for each client<br />
system<br />
This variable points to the license server port or license file. If the client<br />
system is the same system LO as the license server, you can also set the<br />
variable to the actual path to the license.dat file. The client system can be<br />
any <strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>FPGA</strong>-supported system on the network that can access<br />
the license.dat file.<br />
