Setting MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE

The MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable identifies the server machine so that the FLEXlm software on a client can check out a license when you run a MÄK Technologies product. You must set MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE on every client machine.

If you are running MÄK Technologies products on the license server machine, it is also a client, so you must set MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE on that machine.

The syntax for the environment variable is: @Server_name. For example, if the server machine is oak, set the environment variable to @oak .

The following sections explain how to set environment variables on the different platforms that MÄK Technologies products run on.

Windows

To add the MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE in Windows:

1. Open the System Properties dialog box.
1. In Windows XP, on the Start menu, choose My Computer.

4. Click the New button. The New System Variable dialog box opens.
5. In the Variable Name field, enter MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE.

UNIX

On UNIX, you set environment variables in your . cshrc (or equivalent startup file). Set the variable similarly to the following example:

setenv MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE @oak

If you are using the sh or bash shells, you set environment variables in your .profile file (or .bashrc ). Set the variable similarly to the following example:

MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE=@oak

export MAKLMGRD_LICENSE_FILE

Do not put spaces around the equal (=) sign.

Next step: Run the license server.
Return to license installation procedure.
