A.6 Installing Using a Nodelock File
There are two types of nodelock files.
Counted nodelock: Must be installed just like a floating license. The FlexLm server installation is required. A Server and Daemon line is present in the file.
Uncounted nodelock: No FlexLm server installation is required.
A FLEXlm nodelock license file differs from a network file with the addition of a host id at the end of each FEATURE line. A nodelock file differs from a floating license by restricting users to the local
host only.
If you have a temporary or demonstration license it may be supplied as an uncounted nodelock license.dat file. To use this file place it in the Patran home directory (/msc/msc_licensing/flexlm/licenses/license.dat) or set the MSC_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to its location:
On Unix workstations:
% setenv MSC_LICENSE_FILE /msc/msc_licensing/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
On Windows 2000 and Windows XP workstations:
Set MSC_LICENSE_FILE under Control Panel\System\Advanced\Environment Variables.
See Environment Variables, 50 for information on setting environment variables for Patran.
