WARNINGVersion FLEXnet Licensing 10.8License File$SONNET_DIR/licenses/sonnet.licOption File$SONNET_DIR/licenses/license.optLog File$SONNET_DIR/log/flex*.logDaemon Name sonnetdTime out default 15 minutesSonnet uses FLEXnet Licensing 10.8. You must be cautious if you plan tocombine Sonnet with other vendor licenses. When combining license files,you must use a single license manager daemon (lmgrd). You can not useSonnet with an earlier version of lmgrd.Motif programs such as xgeom, emvu, and patvu all have time-out enabled. Ifthese programs are not used in 15 minutes, another user may check out the timedoutlicense. The default time-out period can be changed using the FLEXnetlicensing TIMEOUT feature stored in the options file.Em tries to get a license on start up. If it can not because all of the licenses arechecked out, then a message is printed out and the program continues to try to geta license every minute. Every hour this program prints out a message if it still doesnot have a license. Em will stop trying to get a license after three days.If the “sonnet.lic” file is stored in “$SONNET_DIR/licenses” directory, then allSonnet programs internally set the SONNETD_LICENSE_FILE variable to“$SONNET_DIR/licenses/license.dat”. Therefore, the users does not have to setthis environment variable. If the “sonnet.lic” file is moved to a different directory,then this variable must be set.FLEXnet licensing Administration - sflexlmFor your convenience a program called sflexlm has been added to help administerFLEXnet licensing. From sflexlm you can start and stop the licensing managerand get a status of the licenses. To get a full list of options, type in “sflexlm”, thentype in “help”.50
