Starting the License Server Manager on UNIX Platforms

If any licenses in the license file are counted (license count > 0), the license server manager, and hence the license server, must be started before the FlexEnabled application can be used.

The license server manager, lmgrd, is started either manually on the command line or automatically at system startup. Both methods are discussed in the following sections.

Note:Start lmgrd only on the system specified on the SERVER line in the license file.

If you are running license servers configured for three-server redundancy, maintain an identical copy of the license file (as well as the lmgrd and the vendor daemons binaries) locally on each system rather than on a file server. If you do not do this, you lose all the advantages of having redundant servers, as the file server holding these files becomes a single point of failure.

Important:In addition, ensure that the http/https ports and the licensing ports (required by lmgrd) and the vendor daemon ports are opened on the firewall, so that remote clients can checkout licenses and the HTTP clients/browsers can connect to the lmgrd.
