A license is necessary to run TotalView.

When evaluating TotaView, you are provided a demo license, which you will copy into either the FNE_license directory or the FNP_license directory, depending on the license type.

To receive any license other than an evaluation license, provide a host ID for the machine on which TotalView will run, which will be either the host ID for a local system or for the machine hosting a license server.To find the host ID, run the provided script toolworks_hostid on the system which will host the generated license. Provide the output of the script to the licensing department so that you can receive a permanent or subscription license. This license will contain the host ID information in an encrypted form and will work only on the system for which it was created.

A license server is required only for TotalView for HPC. To set up a license server, install the appropriate licensing software distribution.

Like TotalView, licensing software is installed under the toolworks directory. You will have received either a FlexNet Publisher (FNP) or FlexNet Embedded (FNE) style license, depending on your platform and preference.

For FNP, the installed files include license server software for multiple platforms:

The bin directory contains multiple scripts to facilitate license configuration and installation.
