Installing TotalView
NOTE: TotalView has introduced a newly developed, modern interface for the TotalView debugger. This UI includes the full power of the TotalView debugging engine, but does not yet support all its features. To use these features, simply run the totalview executable with the -classicui argument to launch the original UI.
License Types
TotalView uses two permanent types of license models, depending on product platform and features. When you receive your license file, you will be notified if it is a FlexNet Publisher (FNP) or FlexNet Embedded (FNE) style license.
FNP license files typically have file extension .dat, while FNE style licenses have .bin file extensions. To validate the license type, you can also run the utility toolworks_licensetype and provide as input the license file:
toolworks_licensetype <licensefile>
