Accessing a Remote License Server

When you start TotalView, it must be able to find the license.dat file in the flexlm-6.1 directory. If TotalView and the active license manager are all installed on the same host and you have already created the license.dat file in the correct location, you can skip to Starting the License Manager Manually.

If TotalView and the license server are installed on different machines, you will need to have a license.dat file for each TotalView installation. You should copy the license.client file from the license server to flexlm-6.1/license.dat in each TotalView installation. If you will be using an existing license server, this is the only thing you need to do.

The format for this type of license.dat file (the license.client file) is:

SERVER host-name host-id port-number
USE_SERVER

For example:

SERVER fast-server 08122b2cf32d 7127
USE_SERVER

FLEXlm ignores all lines after USE_SERVER.
