Installing the IMAGICA RLM Floating License Server on LINUX

Transcription

1 Installing the IMAGICA RLM Floating License Server on LINUX There are two types of licensing available for Primatte and O-gi for Autodesk M&E, a NodeLocked license and a Floating license. The NodeLock license is locked to single system. This section of the manual describes how to install and set up the Linux RLM license server. This document also describes how to request a license key password file and instructions on how to activate the sparkprimatte or O-gi software once you have the license key. NOTE: This version of Primatte and O-gi no longer uses the FlexLM floating license technology. This version uses Reprise Floating License technology (RLM). See below for installation instructions as to how to download and install the floating license versions. NOTE: The RLM floating license server can be installed on a Linux, Windows or a Macintosh system. It will assign licenses to SGI, Macintosh and Linux systems. This document is installing on a LINUX system. To get the RLM floating license server for Linux, Windows, or a Macintosh, please browse to one of these locations: (for O-gi) (for Primatte) Downloading the RLM Floating License Manager NOTE: To request a license key from Photron for either O-gi or Primatte, you must have first installed the IMAGICA RLM License Manager software on a LINUX, Windows or Macintosh system along with the spark. The IMAGICA RLM License Manager is a license management system (based on Reprise License Manager) that allows you to execute IMAGICA/Photron products with a floating license. NOTE: Superuser privileges are necessary to execute the following steps. 1. Download the RLM floating license manager for Linux to a known location. The download file is labeled as RLM Floating License Manager (64-bit Linux version) on the web site download page and the file is named imagica_rlm_server.tar.bz2. Installing the RLM Floating License Manager and Requesting a License Key 1. Unzip and untar the file % bunzip2 imagica_rlm_server.tar.bz2 (64-bit Linux version)

2 % tar -xvf imagica_rlm_server.tar (64-bit Linux version) 2. Drop down into the server directory: % cd imagica_rlm_server 3. Login as root (if you are not already) 4. Change permissions on the installer script by typing: % chmod 777 imagica_rlm_server_install.sh 5. Run the installer script by typing: % sh./imagica_rlm_server_install.sh NOTE: This command creates the /usr/imagica and /var/rlm/imagica directories. 6. Go to the RLM bin directory: % cd /usr/imagica/bin 7. Get the system's "rlmhostid": % sh GetHostID.sh NOTE: The "rlmhostid" will be a twelve digit hexadecimal number. 8. Get the system's "hostname": % hostname NOTE: The "hostname" will be a text string. 9. Exit root user NOTE: For an O-gi license, send the "hostname" and the "rlmhostid" to contact@o-gi.biz and they will return a license key. NOTE: For a Primatte license, send the "hostname" and the "rlmhostid" to sgross@photron.com and they will return a license key. Setting up the License

Open permissions on the license file: % chmod 777 /var/rlm/imagica/license.dat NOTE: If you have already had a license file in that directory, append the O-gi or Primatte license text string to the existing file (the line that starts with the word 'LICENSE'). If the existing license file includes the same HOST line and the same ISV line, you can omit these lines. NOTE: In the license file, any lines that start with the '#' character are comments and are ignored by the software that reads the license. NOTE: If the default network port number (16164) has been already used by any other applications, you can change the number for yourself. (for example) -> HOST imagica In this case, you also have to describe your port number on the license file on a client system. (See below) Accessing the Floating License on a Client System 1. Create a /var/rlm/imagica directory. (Autodesk sparks on Linux or Macintosh) 1. Create a C:/Program Files/OGI/DS directory. (O-gi for AvidDS on Windows) 2. Create a file named license.dat. 3. Put this line in the license.dat file: HOST (servername) ANY (port) Example: HOST ANY Example: HOST MacPro.local ANY 16164

6 NOTE: To use the latter format, the /etc/hosts file must have the (IP address) and (servername) in it. Example: MacPro.local NOTE: If you use custom network port number, you also have to describe the number. HOST (servername) ANY (custom_port) Example: HOST ANY 6164 Example: HOST MacPro.local ANY 6164 CAUTION: "ANY" is required. Starting/Stopping/Configuring and Uninstalling the License Daemon -To start the service: % cd /usr/imagica/etc % sh /usr/imagica/etc/imagica_rlm_start -To stop the service, you can use a standard Linux method for stopping a service or type: % sh /usr/imagica/etc/imagica_rlm_stop NOTE: The service will be automatically started upon reboot. NOTE: If the daemon does not start for O-gi, open the /var/tmp/imagica.log file and send it to contact@o-gi.biz. NOTE: If the daemon does not start for Primatte, open the /var/tmp/imagica.log file and send it to sgross@photron.com. -To configure the service: Open a web browser and access this URL... NOTE: You can access the server administration page by your web browser. ( )

7 If the port(16165) has been used by other applications, you can change the port for yourself. a. Stop the service. % sh /usr/imagica/etc/imagica_rlm_stop b. Edit the configuration file. % vi /usr/imagica/bin/imagica-daemon.conf Please change the line of the configuration file. (for example) > 6165 c. Start the service. % sh /usr/imagica/etc/imagica_rlm_start In this example, the new URL of your license service is -To uninstall the Imagica RLM system: a. Open a shell window(and as Superuser) type: % /usr/imagica/etc/imagica_rlm_stop NOTE: This command erases the chkconfig entry and removes the related files in /etc/rc[02].d. b. After executing the above command, remove the imagica_rlm_server package. % rm -rf /usr/imagica % rm -rf /var/rlm/imagica
