Running FLEXlm on Unix system

[Intel_C_Intel]

We just bought Compaq Visual Fortran.
However during installation we got a problem.
In the installation guide chapter 5.1 row 4-5 it says that the server MUST be running on a Windows machine. This sounds really odd to us because:
1. Compaq is (used to be) a major unix vendor.
2. we and many others are running licenseservers (e.g. FLEXl) on Unix systems.

We would like to run FLEXlm on unix for our 5 concurrent licenses for Compaq Visual Fortran. Is this possible ? Any dirty workarounds ?

Any suggestion welcome.

This will work if you can get a Compaq vendor "daemon" which runs on the UNIX system. I have one for Tru64 UNIX, but it requires a relatively recent version. We aren't licensed to produce daemons for non-Compaq UNIX operating systems (we pay per platform for the FLEXlm license.) If you're running Tru64 UNIX, you're welcome to try the daemon we have - get it here.

I'm working on getting a daemon that runs on 4.0d or later of Tru64 UNIX.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.
We tried to use the daemons but unfortunately we received the following error:

> ./Compaq

19644:./Compaq: /sbin/loader: Error: Unresolved symbol in ./Compaq: bo3gU6

19644:./Compaq: /sbin/loader: Error: Unresolved symbol in ./Compaq: pg4_cX

19644:./Compaq: /sbin/loader: Error: Unresolved symbol in ./Compaq: lRrhi4

19644:./Compaq: /sbin/loader: Fatal Error: this executable has unresolvable symbols

The reason is that we are using 4.0f.
You mentioned that you are working on a daemon for 4.0d and later. We would be
very interested in using this version once you release it.



Best Regards,

Right. I'll bug our UNIX folks again about this....

Mathias,,

Let's try this one. Compaq-FLEXlm-daemon-40.gz. (If the file isn't there, try again a few hours later.) gunzip as before. Let me know how it works for you.
