- 3. _L_i_c_e_n_s_i_n_g__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
-
- To operate your MIPSpro 7.3 C++ compiler, you must have a
- software license. This chapter defines some important
- software licensing terms; describes the basic procedure for
- obtaining, installing, and testing a software license for
- the MIPSpro C++ compiler; and lists a web site, addresses,
- and phone numbers that you can use to contact Silicon
- Graphics License Administration.
-
- For in-depth detail on FLEXlm(TM) licensing, see the _F_L_E_X_l_m
- _E_n_d _U_s_e_r _M_a_n_u_a_l, which describes using and administering
- FLEXlm software licenses. The _F_L_E_X_l_m _E_n_d _U_s_e_r _M_a_n_u_a_l is
- included in the system software documentation; the online
- InSight(TM) version is in the license_eoe.books.FlexLM_EUM
- subsystem, which is on the IRIX Development Foundation CD.
-
- Your purchased software is delivered with a label that
- includes a temporary license and an entitlement ID. (The
- entitlement ID is a 15 digit number (shipped with the
- software) that allows your permanent license request to be
- processed and approved in seconds.) The temporary license
- allows you to use the software until you obtain your
- permanent license. However, your entitlement ID number makes
- it possible to obtain your permanent license instantly
- through the Silicon Graphics licensing website or email
- autoresponder. For the website and email address, see
- "Contacting Silicon Graphics License Administration," at the
- end of this chapter.

-
- 3.1 _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e__L_i_c_e_n_s_e_s
-
- A software license is a collection of information that,
- after installation, allows you to use a licensed software
- product on one or more systems.
-
- The software license information includes the license type,
- the license expiration date, a license password, a system ID
- number (/etc/sysinfo -s), and additional information
- concerning the license and licensed software.
-
- Two types of software licenses, node-locked and floating,
- are described in the following sections.
-
-
- 3.1.1 _N_o_d_e_-_L_o_c_k_e_d__L_i_c_e_n_s_e
-
- A node-locked license is installed on a particular system
- (node) and allows the licensed software to run on that
- system.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 3 -
-
-
-
- For the MIPSpro 7.3 release, four types of node-locked
- licenses are available, each corresponding to a different
- product pricing tier.
-
- +o The first tier allows you to run the MIPSpro C++
- compiler on a system of two or fewer processors. It
- contains CPU 2 in its VENDOR STRING field.
-
- +o The second tier allows you to run the MIPSpro C++
- compiler on a system of eight or fewer processors. It
- contains CPU 8 in its VENDOR STRING field.
-
- +o The third tier allows you to run the MIPSpro C++
- compiler on a system of 32 or fewer processors. It
- contains CPU 32 in its VENDOR STRING field.
-
- +o The fourth tier allows you to run the MIPSpro C++
- compiler on a system of any number of processors. It
- does not contain a VENDOR STRING field.
-
-
- 3.1.2 _F_l_o_a_t_i_n_g__L_i_c_e_n_s_e
-
- A floating license allows the licensed software to run on
- one or more systems in the network simultaneously. Floating
- licenses have the host name (/sbin/uname -n) as part of the
- license. The number of systems (nodes) allowed is included
- in the software license information.
-
- When an application requires a license from a license
- server, the floating license points the client to the
- license server (server name and license file path are
- included with the license and copied on all client systems).
- The FLEXlm license daemon, lmgrd, is responsible for
- checking out and checking in licenses (tokens) to and from
- client systems. As long as the number of licenses checked
- out to clients at a given time is less than the encrypted
- maximum number of concurrent users, no user is denied
- access. Once the maximum number is reached, the next request
- for a license is denied.
-
- Because a floating license can be shared over many
- infrequent users, floating licenses have the advantage of
- low cost. However, they are more difficult to install and
- administer. Floating license check-out times can also vary,
- depending on the load of the network and the time needed to
- reach the license server.

-
- The following sections explain the steps for obtaining and
- installing a software license. The steps are as follows:
-
- 1. Check to ensure that you have your software license
- information.
-
- 2. Identify the system on which you will install the
- software license.
-
- 3. Install the software license (temporary or permanent).
-
- 4. Verify that the software license has been successfully
- installed.

- _i_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n.
-
- Software license information is distributed in several ways:
- by web page, email, fax, postal mail, or on sheets of paper
- included with the product.
-
- If you are updating to this release of MIPSpro C++ compiler
- from an older release you need to obtain and install a new
- license.
-
- If you have received both a temporary license and a
- permanent software license, plan to install the permanent
- license; do not install the temporary license.
-
-
- 3.2.2 _I_d_e_n_t_i_f_y _t_h_e _s_y_s_t_e_m _o_n _w_h_i_c_h _y_o_u _w_i_l_l _i_n_s_t_a_l_l _t_h_e
- _s_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _l_i_c_e_n_s_e.
-
- Software license information is usually installed on a
- particular system. Identify the system by using the
- following guidelines:
-
- +o If the System ID field indicates ANY, you can install the
- license on any system you choose.
-
- +o Install a license on the machine that has a system ID
- (/etc/sysinfo -s) that matches the system ID in the
- license.

-
- Licenses typically come with complete license installation
- instructions. Follow these instructions to install the
- license. For more detailed license installation and
- troubleshooting information, see the following web page:
-
- http://www.sgi.com/Support/Licensing/install_docs.html
-
- Check the License type listed in the software license
- information to determine whether the license is a node-
- locked license or a floating license. The installation
- procedure depends on the license type. If the license is a
- floating license, you might need to configure the system on
- which you plan to install the license as a license server.
-
- You can install the license by using the LicenseManager(1M)
- tool or by choosing License Manager from the System
- toolchest.

-
- To verify that the software license is working, run the
- MIPSpro C++ compiler. The licensed program in this product
- is CC(1). The FEATURE NAME in the license of this product
- appears as cpp.
-
- For the MIPSpro 7.3 release, C++ compilations will not be
- terminated if the license is absent or incorrectly
- installed. However, a warning message similar to the
- following will be displayed:
