Updating License Software

Updating the FlexNet or RLM license software is relevant only to TotalView for HPC which uses a served license.

Your TotalView license is implemented by RLM which is built into TotalView.

New releases of TotalView may infrequently incorporate updated RLM versions. Consult the TotalView release notes to determine if an update has been applied.

If your TotalView release does include a newer RLM version than that which is currently installed on your system, you’ll need to first update RLM on your system before either updating your license or installing a new version of TotalView.

This page concerns updating the RLM license server software. See the Appendix for instructions on Updating FlexNet License Software.

Updating an RLM License Server

To update RLM:

1. Stop the currently running license server:

<installdir>/toolworks/repriselm-<oldversion>/bin/toolworks_init stop

2. Open <installdir>/toolworks/repriselm-<oldversion>/license.lic, and note the license server manager daemon's TCP/IP port number. This is the last field on the HOST line (for example: "7147").

3. Next, follow the steps to install a new license. When the Configure_License script asks for the RLM daemon's TCP/IP port number, enter the port number as noted above.
