Step 3: Adding New License Keys

This step describes how to update and create the license.dat file that the license manager uses to allow access to MemoryScape.

If your license server is already serving one or more MemoryScape licenses (that is, the file ${FLEXLM}/license.dat already exists), go to “Revising Your license.dat File”.

Adding a New license.dat File

The Configure_License script, which is located in the ${FLEXLM}/bin directory—creates the license.dat file and the toolworks_init script. Configure_License needs to read the license.src file. This file, which you will create, contains MemoryScape license keys.

Here is the procedure for creating this license.src file:

1	Change to the flexlm-version directory on the license server

cd ${FLEXLM}

2	Copy and paste the new Rogue Wave Software license keys—this is the information that you received through email—into a file named license.src in the flexlm-version directory.

The text in your license.src is derived from your host information, number of license keys, and license configurations.

3	Run the ${FLEXLM}/bin/Configure_License script on the license server. You must run this script while your current directory is flexlm-version. The script creates the following files:

${FLEXLM}/license.dat

${FLEXLM}/license.opt

${FLEXLM}/license.client

${FLEXLM}/license.log

${FLEXLM}/bin/toolworks_init

Proceed to “Step 4: Starting and Stopping the License Server”.

Revising Your license.dat File

If you are currently using MemoryScape, you need to revise your ${FLEXLM}/license.dat file. You do not need to create a new ${FLEXLM}/license.src file nor do you need to rerun the Configure_License script unless you have deleted or changed the location of the flexlm-version directory.

If the ${FLEXLM}/license.dat does not exist, you will need to follow the procedure described in Adding a New license.dat File at the beginning of this topic. Since Rogue Wave Software does not resupply all of your license keys when there is a license change, you will need to combine the license keys that you already have with the newly delivered keys.

Here is the procedure for revising your existing license.dat file:

1	Backup your existing ${FLEXLM}/license.dat file. For example,

cp ${FLEXLM}/license.dat ${FLEXLM}/license.dat.bak

2	Using a text editor, edit the ${FLEXLM}/license.dat file and append the new MemoryScape license keys delivered in this email message to the end of the ${FLEXLM}/license.dat file.

3	Tell the license server to reread your license.dat file:

${FLEXLM}/bin/toolworks_lmreread
