inquiry about floating license installation on Ubuntu10.04.4LTS

Hi Devin,

did you follow the steps in our wiki?   If the file is there but not being found by the server some things to try are restarting the server, chekcing antivirus and permissions issues.

What steps did you take? 

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa, Thanks for you concern.

I followed below steps from the wiki site.  On step8, there is no return messge. Is it normal?

BR,

UNIX: command line setup

The license server can be installed in a host PC with UNIX operating systems. FlexNet supports several types of UNIX systems and platforms, including all Linux releases that are LSB-compliant. However, TI daemon servers are only available for Linux and Solaris® for SPARC™. The procedure below was tested in Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 32 and 64-bits.

The command-line setup is convenient for license servers as it allows remote management via a simple telnet or SSH terminal.

The procedure below creates a directory structure to help keep things organized and allow multiple licenses to be used by the server.

/opt |--> license_server |--> bin |--> licenses |--> logs 

1. Open a terminal or console and create the directory structure below to accomodate the license server files:

host$cd /opt

host$sudo mkdir license_server

host$cd ./license_server

host$sudo mkdir bin

host$sudo mkdir licenses

host$sudo mkdir logs

host$ sudo chmod 777 *

Note: the last step is required to allow user access to the license file and the utilities.

2. Download the license server utilities <lmutil> and <lmgrd> and save them to the directory bin created above. Be sure to download the correct version: Linux 32-bit/64-bit (LSB Certified™) for x86/x64 platform or Solaris™ 32-bit/64-bit for SPARC® 32-bit/64-bit platform.

Note: Depending on your Linux distribution you might need to install the packages lsb-core and lsb-base to properly run the <lmgrd> utility. Refer to your linux distribution documentation to learn how to properly install these packages.

3. Download the TI daemon server <tidspssw> and save it to the directory bin created above: Linux:

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_registered_sw/sdo_ccstudio/CCSv4/tidspssw/re3/tidspssw

Solaris:

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_registered_sw/sdo_ccstudio/CCSv4/tidspssw/sun_u8/tidspssw.tar.gz

4. Go to the directory bin and extract the command-line utilities:

• • Linux 32-bit:

host$cd bin

host$tar xvf lmgrd_i86_lsb.tar.gz

host$ tar xvf lmutil_i86_lsb.tar.gz

• • Linux 64-bit:

host$cd bin

host$tar xvf lmgrd_x64_lsb.tar.gz

host$ tar xvf lmutil_x64_lsb.tar.gz

• • Solaris™ 32-bit:

host$cd bin

host$tar xvf lmgrd_x64_lsb.tar.gz

host$tar xvf lmutil_x64_lsb.tar.gz

host$ tar xvf tidspssw.tar.gz

• • Solaris™ 64-bit:

host$cd bin

host$tar xvf lmgrd_x64_lsb.tar.gz

host$tar xvf lmutil_x64_lsb.tar.gz

host$ tar xvf tidspssw.tar.gz

5. The command-line utilities and the TI daemon server are supplied as read-only, therefore it is necessary to change their permissions:

host$chmod 555 lmgrd

host$chmod 555 lmutil

host$ chmod 555 tidspssw

6. Save the TI license file (extension .lic) received from the e-mail to the directory licenses created above. If already saved in your host PC, copy the file to the directory licenses.

host$ cp <location_of_license_file>/TMDSCCS-ALLF05-v4.0.lic /opt/license_server/licenses

7. Create an empty file in the directory logs created above that will log all license server activity

host$ touch /opt/license_server/logs/tidspssw.log

8. Run the license server manager <lmgrd>. It will point to the license directory and the log file created before:

host$cd /opt/license_server/bin

host$ ./lmgrd -c /opt/license_server/licenses -l /opt/license_server/logs/tidspssw.log

9. To test if the license server is running and properly loaded the TI daemon <tidspssw> simply type:

host$ ./lmutil lmstat -a

Hi Devin,

what exact error do you get?  Could you send the log file.   Is the license file there?

Best Regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

The issue is that './lmutil lmstat -a' returns an error message although .lic file is located in /opt/license_server/licenses

Here is the log.

Thanks and BR,

Devin
