This article summarizes the items and procedures needed to install and successfully run the Altair License Management System on Linux.
Download Process:
Download the Altair License Manager (ALM) from Marketplace on Altair One. The License Manager Tab would be accessible for all the applications for which you currently have a license.
Save the executable file within a local drive on the intended Server machine.
Installation Process:
Please Note: The installer asks whether you already have a license file. If you do, enter its location in the install wizard. If you do not have one, the installer creates a blank altair_lic.dat file in the and you can replace it later. Additionally, please make sure there is only one *.dat or *.lic (license file) in the installation directory.
Using the Altair License Server:
In order for applications to use the Altair License Server, the environment variable, ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH, must point to the appropriate location. Multiple license paths are allowed and should be separated by a colon (:) on Linux.
The proper format for a network license location is port@hostname. The default port is 6200.
Make sure there are no spelling mistakes in the variable name or server name and both are case sensitive.
For example:
export ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH=6200@server.foo.bar.com
export ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH=6200@srv1:6200@srv2:6200@srv3
Remember that in case you experience any difficulties during this process, you can contact Altair Support at the landing page of Altair Community.
