Solution 1:

Installation/Use:



Untar and Uncompress files and copy into paths as follows:


Following files are license executables required to startup license manager v5.0
  required to run Xilinx M1.3 tool. ( In the case of M1.4, the license manager v
ersion is v5.12)

tar and compressed file: license_sol.tar.Z, license_hp.tar.Z, license_sun.tar.Z

files when untarred and uncompressed: lmutil, xilinxd, lmgrd


(1) Copy files into following directory:

	$XILINX/bin/<platform>/

	For example:   $XILINX/bin/sol/lmutil
				      /lmgrd
				      /xilinxd


(2) Where to place the license.dat file?

	$XILINX/data/license.dat  or

	/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat(the default for flexlm)

 (3) Setup LM_LICENSE_FILE variable:

	- Set an environment variable in your user setup(.cshrc) file that
	  points to the license.dat file.  For example, if the license.dat
	  file is installed in	$XILINX/data, you would enter the

	  following command:
	  setenv m1_license = $XLILNX/data/license.dat


	- Set the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable in your user setup(.cshrc) file

	  to point to the m1_license variable.

	- Use an If statement to consider two conditions:

		(a) Users who have not yet set the LM_LICENSE_FILE
		    variable during the install process
		(b) Users who have LM_LICENSE_FILE set

		Following is an example statement:

		if ( ! $?LM_LICENSE_FILE ) then
		  setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE $m1_license
		else
		  setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE $ (LM_LICENSE_FILE) :$m1_license
		endif
	- Source the .cshrc file



(4) Set Server and path to point to xilinxd in license.dat file.

	Example of license.dat file:

	SERVER gene 80361d08 2200
	DAEMON xilinxd /user/xilinx/bin/sol/xilinxd



(5) How to start License Manager?

	$Xilinx/bin/sol/lmgrd -c <path_to_license_file>/data/license.dat



(6) Please refer to following resource for additional documentation on licensing
.

(7) If some client machines run M1.3 and some run M1.4, use the license manager
v5.12.
