TotalView for HPC Licensing
Overview
NOTE: If you have not yet installed TotalView or wish to reinstall, see
Installing TotalView. To renew or update an existing license, see
Chapter 6, Updating or Renewing a License.
TotalView for HPC installations require a license server. You may have installed TotalView on the machine that will host the license server, or on a client machine that will point to the license server:
For the machine hosting the license server:
The license server will be installed and configured in an additional directory created by the license server software installation, not by the TotalView installation.
For a client machine pointing to the license server for its licensing information, either install a license server pointer file in the
tv_license directory created by the TotalView installer, or set an environment variable.
NOTE: Versions prior to 2023.4 will have a …/toolworks/FNP_license or …/toolworks/FNE_license, rather than …/toolworks/tv_license.
Set the environment variable to point to the license as follows:
RLM_LICENSE for a RLM style license
LM_LICENSE_FILE for an FNP style license (deprecated)
TV_LICENSE_FILE for an FNE style license (deprecated)
You do not need to install a license server; instead, whomever administers the license server will need to provide you with a license.
