Sometimes, Altair Support will ask you to provide debug logs for licensing. This articles gives step by step explanations to provide the required logs on Linux.

  1. Open a terminal window

  2. Enter the three following commands:
    export ALM_LOG_ENABLED=1
    export ALM_LOG_LEVEL=debug
    export ALM_LOG_FACILITY=file:/tmp/alm.log
    Note: if you do not have write permissions in /tmp choose a different folder where you have write permissions

  3. Start the application that you cannot get a license for from the command line and reproduce the steps where you experience an unexpected behavior
