1. Install the FNE Server
The FlexNet Embedded server is available as a separate installation tar bundle, available for download in the TotalView_FlexNet_Embedded folder from the TotalView FTP download area identified in the instructions you received.
NOTE: For served license renewal, skip this section and see Renewing a Served License.
1. Unpack your TotalView FlexNet Embedded distribution on the Linux license server system
To install the FNE license server software, unpack the FlexNet Embedded tar bundle onto the Linux x86 64-bit machine that will host the license server, then run the Install script from the resulting directory:
tar xvf flexnetls-<version>.tar -C ~
cd ~/flexnetls-<version>
2. Run the Install script using sudo (required)
sudo ./Install
Choose an installation directory, e.g., /opt.At the prompt, select the components to install: just the FNE server files (flexnetls-server.tar.Z).Once the Install script completes, you should have a flexnetls-<version> directory under <installdir>/toolworks.
3. Install the license file on the license server system
Place your Perforce-provided FNE license file, license.bin into the flexnetls-<version> directory.
4. Create a dedicated unprivileged user account
NOTE: Skip this step if you already created the user as a prerequisite to installing and running the license server as discussed in Prerequisites.
The Linux-x86-64 system must have a dedicated, unprivileged user account to run the license server. Note that:
The default user account name is “flexnetls” but you can rename it if you wish.The account must be a dedicated account in order to run the FNE license server.The account must be unprivileged.The login shell should be /bin/sh.5. Run the Configure_License script using sudo
cd /opt/toolworks/flexnetls-<version>
sudo bin/Configure_License
This script is interactive and prompts you while it runs. These are the possible options:
(Optional) Define a program files directory where the license server service will be installed.(Optional) Define a data files directory for trusted storage and log files.Identify an available listening port (e.g., 7137).(Optional) Customize FNE server policy settings.(Optional) View the automatic license server startup script.
