Install the license server on Linux

Install the RLM license server

Download the license server from here.

Then extract the rlm folder from the archive and move them to a directory on your (license server) machine. You can put the rlm folder anywhere but we recommend

/opt/Toolchefs/

If you have already a RLM server of another vendor running on your machine, you should copy only the toolchefs.set file to the existing RLM location.

Install the license files

Copy the license file to the rlm folder. This is the directory that contains the RLM executable. The license server automatically loads all .lic files from this directory.

If you install new licenses when the server is already running please remember to restart the server.

Starting the RLM license server at boot time on Linux

The rlm rfolder includes a rlmd script that you can use as a startup script.

Note: Do the following as root or using sudo.

1 Edit rlmd and specify the path of the rlm folder:

rlmdir=/opt/Toolchefs/rlm

2 Copy rlmd to:

cp /opt/Toolchefs/rlm/rlmd /etc/rc.d/init.d/ (Red Hat, CentoOS, Fedora)
cp /opt/Toolchefs/rlm/rlmd /etc/init.d/ (Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE)
