Chapter 2 Installing or Changing a Regular License
This chapter describes the procedure for installing or changing a regular license.
• To install TotalView software for the first time with a permanent license, begin with the next section.
• To create a FlexNet user account, see “Creating a FlexNet User Account” on page 9.
• To install TotalView software and use an existing license, see “Accessing a License Server” on page 9.
• To shutdown and restart the license manager, see “Starting the License Manager Manually” on page 10.
If you are installing TotalView Individual, the information you need is Chapter 4, “Installing TotalView Individual”.
If you are wondering whether your license is valid for the release you are installing, see the next section.
Is My License Valid for this Release?
To be valid, the maintenance date for your license must be later than the official release date. You can find the maintenance date for your TotalView installation in:
installdir/toolworks/flexlm-version/license.dat
Open the file in a text editor and look for a line like this:
INCREMENT TotalView_Team toolworks 2014.1231 permanent 20 \
The example above indicates a permanent 20 token team license where the maintenance expires December 31, 2014. It will always be valid to run TotalView versions released before the maintenance expiration date of December 31, 2014, but will result in a "license too old" message if you attempt to use it with a version of TotalView released after December 31, 2014.
