LM 2.6 install on Linux fails to run the after installation configuration correctly

Fabrizio_S_1 · ‎11-24-2017

Hi,

I am trying to install the Intel License Manager 2.6 for Linux on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 box.

I have unpacked the tarball 'l_isl_server_p_2.6.0.003.tgz' and have run the install script, specifying my own installation path and location to the license file retrieved from my product page.

The installation appears to complete without errors and creates the 'licenserver' which has the following contents

# ls -l licenseserver/

total 19604

However, upon reading the README file (see below) it seems as though I am missing some files, namely the lmgrd.rc file used to start the license server and the server.lic file.

Is this expected behaviour?

# cat licenseserver/README
README

The Intel(R) Software License Manager provides license
servers and utilities for use with Intel(R) Software Product,
when counted licenses are used.

Before configuration this directory should contain files:

HowTo.html - Contains a "How To" help html file.
INTEL - The Intel(R)-specific VENDOR Daemon.
INTEL_libFNP.__ACT_EXT__ - Activation library for INTEL
Install_INTEL - A shell script to configure this directory.
README - This file.
chklic - A utility for checking license contents.
chklic_libFNP.__ACT_EXT__ - Activation library for chklic.
fnp_LicAdmin.pdf - The FLEXnet* License Administration Guide.
getip - A command to retrieve the host name and IP address.
lmgrd - The FLEXnet* licensing Daemon.
lmutil - The FLEXnet* utilities executable.
END_USER_LICENSE - End-User License Agreement

After configuration the following files should have been created:

Install_INTEL.log - Log of any/all installation attempts.
Install_INTEL.cfg - Saved settings from most recent install.
lmgrd.rc - A sample boot start-up file (see NOTE below).
server.lic - The server license file.
lmcksum@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
for computing checksums of a license file.
lmdiag@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
for diagnosis of license checkout problems.
lmdown@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
for shutdown of license daemons.
lmhostid@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
for reporting the hostid of the system
lminstall@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
for generating licenses from decimal format.
lmremove@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
for removing an endusers license.
lmreread@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
for causing the "lmgrd" to re-read the
license file.
lmstat@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
for reporting status of licensing activities.
lmswitchr@ - A soft link (ln -s) to "lmutil"
