5.2.2 How do I determine the correct hostid
The hostid is a 12-digit hexadecimal number. It is the physical address (also called
Mac address or Node address) of the Ethernet card. After installing T
OPSPIN,
including the Flexlm license manager, you can determine the hostid in two ways:
•Start T
OPSPIN; a command prompt will pop up, which will list the hostid, if
no licence.dat file is available.
• Open a Linux shell and enter:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0
take the numbers of the HWaddr.
5.2.3 Installing a Demo license
A Demo license can be installed as follows:
1. Log in as Administrator
2. Install the Flexlm license manager as described in chapter 4.3
3. Open a Linux shell and enter:
nedit /usr/local/flexlm/Bruker/licenses/license.dat
enter the FEATURE lines, save and exit the file
5.2.4 Installing a full license on a license server
The Flexlm license manager must always be installed and run as a service on the
license server. It is delivered on the T
OPSPIN DVD and can be installed as
described in chapter 4.3. In case the license file identifies the PC as license server,
Flexlm is automatically installed as a service which is then automatically started
during boot time
On the license server, the file license.dat must contain a SERVER line, a
DAEMON line and FEATURE lines. An example would be:
SERVER tulip 0060080e830d 1700
