-
- 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 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.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 3 -
-
-
-
- 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.
-
- 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
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 4 -
-
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- 3.2 _O_b_t_a_i_n_i_n_g__a_n_d__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_i_n_g__a__S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e__L_i_c_e_n_s_e
-
- 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.
-
-
- 3.2.1 _C_h_e_c_k _t_o _e_n_s_u_r_e _t_h_a_t _y_o_u _h_a_v_e _y_o_u_r
- _s_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _l_i_c_e_n_s_e _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
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 5 -
-
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- 3.2.3 _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 (_t_e_m_p_o_r_a_r_y
- _o_r _p_e_r_m_a_n_e_n_t).
-
- 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
-
-
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
- - 6 -
-
-
-
- in this product is cc(1). The FEATURE NAME in
- the license of this product appears as cc.
-
- 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:
-
- %cc -c foo.c
- Cannot find license file (-1,73:2) No such file or directory
-
- The MIPSpro C Compiler
- (license FEATURE string = cc)
- requires a license password.
