NextGen TotalView for HPC uses the FlexNet® license management software to grant or reject requests to use NextGen TotalView for HPC.
FlexNet was formerly known as FLEXLM, so the string ‘flexlm’ still appears in the NextGen TotalView for HPC product, mainly in code and directory paths.
You do not need to install FlexNet if you are using an evaluation license. That is, you only need the information in this chapter after you purchase NextGen TotalView for HPC and have received your regular license.
Your regular license is associated with a FlexNet license manager host (the license server) and is for a specific number of concurrent licenses or tokens, depending upon the version you purchased.
NOTE >> Configuring license.opt is required for your NextGen TotalView for HPC installation to work.
Rogue Wave provides tools and PDF documentation for using FlexNet.
