47.1.3.1. Registering the License
An environment variable, FBLMD_LICENSE_FILE, is defined so that the RecurDyn licensing knows where to find a license file or a license server. The environment variable can be defined by the user in an appropriate manner according to the Linux shell being used. Another option is to place the environment variable definition in a special file that is checked by the licensing utility (FLEXnet). The name of the file is .flexlmrc and it should be located in your home directory.
Use a text editor to create the flexlmrc file. One method is to use the vi editor, as follows (where userName is your user account name):
vi /home/userName/.flexlmrc
Node-Locked Licenses
For a node-locked license enter the following into the file in order to define an environmental variable that defines the license file location:
FBLMD_LICENSE_FILE = /opt/functionbay/ <CurrentVersion>/License.dat
Floating Licenses
For a client installation enter the following into the file in order to define an environmental variable that defines the license server location:
FBLMD_LICENSE_FILE = port_number@hostname
To Use a Redundant License
If you use a redundant license, separate each port_number@hostname entry with a comma (typically there are three license servers with a redundant license).
FBLMD_LICENSE_FILE = port_number@hostname1, port_number@hostname2, port_number@hostname3
