Wind River Product Installation and Licensing
Developer's Guide, 2.2
6.2.1 Permanent Activation with a License File
28
The easiest (and recommended) way to activate temporary licenses is to obtain a
license file.
1. Follow the instructions in 3. Obtaining Node-Locked Workstation Licenses to
create the appropriate license file(s).
2. Name the new file WRSLicense.lic.
3. Copy the file into the installdir/license directory of the development
workstation.
6.2.2 Setting an Environment Variable to Access a License Server
6.2.3 Reinstalling the Product
NOTE: Each node-locked development workstation requires a separate license file,
generated using that workstation’s host ID.
The second way to permanently activate temporary licenses is to set an
environment variable to point to a license server.
NOTE: In order to use this method, your license administrator must first obtain a
server license file and install a license server.
1. Create an environment variable on the workstation called
WRSD_LICENSE_FILE.
2. Set the value of this variable to the port@servername indicated in the SERVER
line of the product activation file you downloaded from the licensing Web site.
For example, the SERVER line may look like the following:
SERVER jupiter hostID 27000
In this example, the server name is jupiter and the port number is 27000, so you
would set the variable to 27000@jupiter.
Once the variable is set, this permanently activates the temporary licenses.
When you go from temporary to permanent activation, you do not typically need
to remove and then reinstall the product. However, if you do reinstall, note that
the uninstallation process does not remove the license file. You must remove the
old license file manually, by navigating to the installDir/license directory and
deleting the file, usually named WRSLicense.lic.
