at boot time?


Solution 1:

You will need root privileges for this step because you need to edit
your UNIX system files. You may need assistance from a system
administrator.

Under SunOS4, to start the lmgrd license server every time your machine
reboots, edit your "/etc/rc.local" file and add the following long single
line:

<xilinx>/bin/sun/lmgrd -l /tmp/lmgrd.log -c <full_license_file_path>


Under Solaris, create a shell script with a name similar to S99start_license con
taining the following lines:

#!/bin/sh
<xilinx>/bin/sol/lmgrd -l /tmp/lmgrd.log -c <full_license_file_path>

and install the script with executable rights (chmod 744) in the directory, /etc
/rc2.d.  The license manager
will start automatically whey you boot at runlevel 2 or higher.


Under HP-UX, to start the lmgrd license server every time your machine
reboots, edit your "/etc/rc" file and add the following long single
line:

<xilinx>/bin/hp/lmgrd -l /tmp/lmgrd.log -c <full_license_file_path>
