LICENSING NOTE: 0804.02 May, 2003 _____________________________________________________________________________ Licensing data is stored in a text file called the license pool file. The license pool file is edited and installed by the license administrator. It contains information about the server nodes and vendor daemons and at least one line of data (called the FEATURE or INCREMENT line) that corresponds to each licensed product. When running a concurrently licensed application, the following occurs: 1. The license module in the client application finds the client license file, which includes the host name (or address) of the license server, and port number of the license manager daemon ( lmgrd). 2. The client application establishes a connection with the lmgrd and tells it what vendor daemon needs to be used. In this case, INGR. 3. lmgrd contacts the INGR daemon and sends that information back to the client. 4. The client application then establishes a connection with the INGR daemon and sends its request for a license. 5. The INGR daemon checks in its memory to see if any licenses are available and sends a grant or denial back to the client. 6. The license module in the application grants or denies use of the application, as appropriate. Server Installation: You should have a license administrator set up licensing on your system or network. To obtain proper license, you will need the TCP/IP address of the server you want to use as a license server. ____________________________________________________________ Note: The TCP/IP address of the license server must be static. It cannot be dynamically assigned. ____________________________________________________________ Refer to the the licensing web site at (http://www.intergraph.com/imgs/license) for specific information regarding the generation of licenses. 1. Determine the Host ID of the license server. For concurrent licenses the Host ID is the TCP/IP address of the server. 2. Go to the licensing web site at http://www.intergraph.com/imgs/license . Key in your License Authentication Code (LAC) at the prompt. After submitting the LAC a list of products will be displayed. Select the product for which you are generating the license file. Click on Generate License and when prompted key in the TCP/IP address of the license server in the following format: INTERNET=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2
LICENSING NOTE: 0804.02 May, 2003 _____________________________________________________________________________ where .xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the TCP/IP address. If you are licensing multiple applications, you will need to add the license for each application to the license pool file. 3. Create a folder on the server for the licensing software and files. 4. Located on the product CD is a top level folder called License. Copy the contents of the License folder on the CD to the license folder you created on the server. Included in this folder will be the FLEXIm utility program LMTOOLS, the license daemon LMGRD, and the vendor daemon INGR. . 5. If an options file is required refer to Options File section below for configuration details. . Server Configuration: To configure a license server, you must be logged on to the license server with Administrator privileges. 1. The content used in the pool file comes from the information generated when you entered the Host ID on the license WEB site. On the server, the license pool file name is user specified and the content of the file depends on the number of applications you are going to license. In our example we named the license pool file INGR.lic. . The contents of a typical license pool file containing one application license is shown below: SERVER 129.135.144.212 INTERNET=129.135.144.212 VENDOR INGR USE_SERVER # INCREMENT GeoMedia Processional INGR 5.0 permanent 35 \ 0332CE03G7C4 ISSUER=”Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions” ck= 102 If multiple GeoMedia applications are licensed concurrently, the license entries for each product need to be added to the license pool file. Use a text editor like notepad and copy the entire INCREMENT section from each separate license file into one large master pool file like the example shown below: SERVER 129.135.144.212 INTERNET=129.135.144.212 VENDOR INGR USE_SERVER # INCREMENT GeoMedia Professional INGR 5.0 permanent 35 \ 0389FE05A7C6 ISSUER=”Intergraph Mapping and 015 Solutions” ck= 102 # INCREMENT GeoMedia Transaction_Manager INGR 5.0 permanent 25 \ 3
