Installed a new server with RHEL6 and was trying to get the synopsys license working on it. I kept getting this error,
[maryh@eshop bin]$ ./lmgrd ./lmgrd: Command not found.
even though that command was present in that directory.
The problem was I was missing some 32-bit packages on the system. I installed:
# yum install redhat-lsb-core.i686
which installed a bunch of packages. After that, everything worked as expected.
In order to get our lmgrd command running in 64-bit rhel6, need to install redhat-lsb.i686 package. This installs a bunch of other packages as well.
Before installing this package, the lmgrd command gave this error:
[root@server bin]# ./lmgrd -bash: ./lmgrd: /lib/ld-lsb.so.3: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
Afterwards, it worked fine.
When creating a deployment of Inventor, you are prompted to enter your serial number and product key. By default, the license type selected is Stand-Alone. If you use this, you will HAVE to activate the product before you can use it. And, you are only able to do this once. So, when creating a deployment, be sure to choose the Network as the license type and put in the information for the license server.
After creating the deployment for inventor, you can use that deployment to install the software. However, this does not have anything to do with the license server because we are not running inventor on our license server. So, after installation, you have to register the software to be able to download the license file that is required on the server. To do that, go here:
The environment variable to use to set the license is ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE. For example,
ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=2080@license-server.example.com
Put the matlab license info in a file called license.dat. This file should then be placed in the $MATLAB_HOME/bin/win32 or $MATLAB_HOME/bin/win64 directory.
I got a new altera license and installed in on the new file server. Should now change the LM_LICENSE_FILE to 27000@new_file_server
I also could comment out the mgcld daemon line because there were no feature codes in the new license that use that daemon. In previous versions, that was there to check out the license for Modelsim. But now, that license is checked out using the Mentor Graphics license server which is on a different machine.
