Installing a Flex-Net Embedded (FNE) License
NOTE: These license setup instructions are for FlexNet Embedded (FNE) style licenses. Depending on the type of TotalView product purchased, you may be issued a FlexNet Publisher (FNP) style license or an FNE license. FNE licenses typically have the file extension .bin and FNP style licenses have the file extension .dat. You can validate the license type by running the utility toolworks_licensetype, providing as input the license file, e.g.,
toolworks_licensetype <licensefile>
If your license has a .bin extension or toolworks_licensetype reports it is a FNE license, proceed with this chapter. For an FNP style license, see Installing a FlexNet Publisher (FNP) License on page 14.
Note that FNE licenses are required for Linux PowerLE and ARM64. Other platforms can use FNE but do not require it.
toolworks_licensetype <licensefile>
