Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2011 floating license seat checkout

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

For an Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2011 suite a license seat represents only one allowed usage for all components.
It means that if all the licenses are consumed by one component users (e.g., VTune™ Amplifier XE),
then other components can't be used (e.g., Composer XE).
For example, one 5 seats Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2011 floating license allow only 5 uses of any component, total.
The same behavior is for borrowing feature - the entire suite is borrowed as a whole, not just a one component.

Please also find this article for more details about license checkout and check in.

Intel® FLEXlm* License Borrowing Capability

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Overview

This feature allows users to ‘borrow” a license seat from the license host server for a limited time, disconnect from the network and use the borrowed license even with no connection to the license server. This is very useful in case you want to use the software offline.

Required Information

To use the license borrow functionality for Intel floating product licenses, customers need to ensure they have the following items:

1) A build of the Intel® License Manager for FLEXlm* (for the desired OS) that supports the Borrow capability:

a) Users need to make sure that they are using a build of Intel FLEXlm* License Manager which supports borrowing
and early return of borrowed licenses.

b) We recommend the customer download and install one of the free license manager servers available at the
following website link:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/performance-tools-for-software-developers-intel-flexlm-license-servers/

2) A license file which has the keyword BORROW in it:

a) Licenses for Intel® Software Development Products with version 2011 have the BORROW feature with a BOROW period of 7 days enabled by default.

b) To obtain a borrow-enabled license for a multi-seat floating product license with a version older than 2011, please   submit an issue to Intel® Premier Support at https://premier.intel.com/ under product 'Download, Licensing and Registartion'.


Steps for starting the FLEXlm* License Manager (Server) for using the Borrow feature

(1) Start the license server using the new borrow-enabled license file(s).

(2) Check the log for the Intel® FLEXlm* License Server and make sure that it does not complain about BORROW keyword in the license file.

     • By default, the log file location on Windows* is: %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Intel\FLEXlm
     • By default, the log file location on Linux* and Mac OS* X is the same where FLEXlm server has been installed

     A typical log file when FLEXlm Server has started successfully looks like the following:

     14:00:31 (lmgrd) US Patents 5,390,297 and 5,671,412.
    14:00:31 (lmgrd) World Wide Web: http://www.macrovision.com
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) License file(s): server.lic
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) lmgrd tcp-port 28518
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) Starting vendor daemons ...
     14:00:31 (lmgrd) Started INTEL (internet tcp_port 35860 pid 9309)
     14:00:31 (INTEL) FLEXlm version 9.23
     14:00:31 (INTEL) Server started on LicenseServer for:
     14:00:31 (INTEL) I3F97C15E (consisting of:   ArBBL
     14:00:31 (INTEL) CCompL    DbgL    FCompL
     14:00:31 (INTEL) MKernL    PerfAnl    PerfPrimL
     14:00:31 (INTEL) StaticAnlL    ThreadAnlGui    ThreadBB)

Client System Setup for the Borrow feature (Application Setup)

NOTE: The term “Client” refers to the application that uses Intel FLEXlm floating license seat check-out and check-in.

1) Download the lmutil for your operating system and architecture from http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm.

2) If you are not able to download the lmutil from the website above, work with your Intel Support team contact (or submit an issue to Premier Support at https://premier.intel.com/) for access to lmutil, and have the information about your Operating System, OS Version and Architecture (IA-32, Intel® 64 and/or IA-64[Intel® Itanium®]).

3) Verify that no Intel product components’ license seats (i.e., Compiler Professional Edition, Vtune, etc.) can be borrowed by running the following command. If you see any information that indicates one or more features/components were borrowed, then borrowing has already been enabled for those licensed features/components. Here is an example of output when no borrowing is enabled.

lmutil lmborrow -status

Example:
lmutil lmborrow -status
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.

4) Configure the borrow duration and FLEXlm feature to be borrowed:

lmutil lmborrow INTEL dd-mmm-yyyy:[time] -c

Example:
lmutil lmborrow INTEL 06-Oct-2011 CCompL -c server.lic

where,
server.lic is the license file which was used to start the server. It should be noted that license borrowing will fail if the license file on the client side is different than the one which was used to start the server.

The command above borrows a “featurename” called CCompL (Intel® C++ Compiler for Linux*) from the vendor INTEL until 6th Oct 2011 using the license file server.lic

NOTE: The time specified on command line of lmborrow is the end date/time the user planed to borrow, which must be <= 168 hours, which is the maximum borrow period. If the user wants to borrow the license seat for only 1 or 2 days, the corresponding date/time for that period should be set.
Users cannot borrow a license seat for more than the 168 hour barrier that is set in the license file and in the license server logic. If an extended borrow time is required, please submit an issue to Intel® Premier Support at https://premier.intel.com/ under product 'Download, Licensing and Registartion' providing a jsutification of why you need to extend the borrow time beyond 7 days.

After running this command, the customer should see the following:

lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2004 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.
Setting LM_BORROW=3-oct-2011:INTEL:06-oct-2011:CCompL

5) If the above steps are successful, you are now ready to borrow a seat by running the client application (e.g. – Composer XE, Vtune Amplifier XE, Inspector XE, etc). The FLEXlm feature will be borrowed when you run the client/application and a successful check-out happens. As soon as the first license is checked out, the server log file will confirm the borrowed feature with the following message in the log file:

14:35:14 (INTEL) OUT: "I3F97C15E" User1@Host1
14:35:14 (INTEL) OUT: "CCompL" User1@Host1

Note that there are no corresponding IN entries in the server log. This is different behavior than a normal check-out where corresponding to every two OUT entries in the server log file, you will also see two IN entries after the OUT entries after the application exits.

6) Verify that the FLEXlm product feature was really borrowed by running the following command on the client system:

lmutil lmborrow –status

Example for borrowing a seat for the Intel C++ Compiler for Linux*:

lmutil lmborrow –status
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2004 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.

Vendor Feature Expiration
______ ________ __________

INTEL CCompL 6-Oct-11 23:59

NOTE: Before the Borrow period expires, the product will always get the license from the local storage for the Borrowed license seat when it tries to check-out license. The Client system on which the product is used does not need to be attached to FLEXlm* license host server.

7) Disconnect the client system from the server network. Now with the borrowed license, you can use the software application with the borrowed license.

NOTE: After the Borrow period expires, the product license seat will no longer to be able to check-out the license from local storage. Instead, the client system must be “attached” to the FLEXlm* license host server to check-out a product license seat.

8) Run the following command to return a borrowed license:

lmutil lmborrow -return -c server.lic featurename

Example:
lmutil lmborrow -return -c server.lic CCompL
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.

On the FLEXlm server side, you will see the following message in the log file for the borrowed feature which was returned. This message is different compared to a normal check-in.

14:40:17 (INTEL) REMOVING User1@Host1:/dev/pts/0 from CCompL by administrator request.

14:40:17 (INTEL) IN: "CCompL" User1@Host1 (USER_REMOVED)
14:40:17 (INTEL) IN: "I3F97C15E" User1@Host1 (USER_REMOVED)

9) Run the following command to verify that the license was returned successfully back to the server:

lmutil lmborrow -status

Example:
./lmutil lmborrow -status
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.

Note: If you try to return a license which has not been borrowed, you will see a message like this:

./lmutil lmborrow -return -c server.lic CCompL
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 by Macrovision Corporation. All rights reserved.
Error: CCompL not currently borrowed.

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Before installing the product (no matter what type of license you have):

Find your Serial Number (SN)
Register the SN ; After registration, the Registration Center will take you to the downloads page where you can select the product files for the version(s) you desire. You will also receive an email with a copy of your .lic license file attached. Save this email as a backup of your .lic license file.
Setup a Support Account if your product license is eligible for Intel Premier Support.
- Check this article on getting support for multiple users using floating license.
- More information about the Intel Premier Support.
Download your product files from the Intel Registration and Download center or use your "boxed" product CD.

Then the next steps are different based on your license type.

If you have a counted (floating) license, you must do following to install and configure your License Host Server system and your client systems:

I. Set up the license host server system

Read the Intel License Manager for FLEXlm* User's Guide
Be sure you are using the system for the license host server that you defined in your floating or nodelocked license(s) when you registered them, i.e., using the system that corresponds to the host name and host id you specified for your license(s)
Download the correct Intel FLEXlm server for license host server system
Install the FLEXlm server:
- after installation, the license server should start running automatically
- To manually start or stop the FLEXlm license server, please refer to the FLEXlm user's guide
If you have three redundant license host servers specified in your floating or nodelocked licenses, make sure you have checked the requirements in the Redundancy Server Notes article.

II. Install the Intel software product on the client systems

Set up the client license
- if your client machine does not have internet access, you can borrow the license and return it after use. Check this article on details on how to borrow a license.
On Windows*, just run the downloaded product package program. It will automatically extract the package and start the installation.

On Linux* or Mac OS* X, use following commands to install:

If you have a single user license, follow the simple steps below. Do not use FLEXlm* License Manager for a single user license.

The easiest way to install is to use your serial number. You can find the serial number in the email confirmation received when you purchased the product. See this KB on where to find your serial number.
To use the license file to install
- Save the license file sent to you by email to a directory [lic-dir]\mylic_file.lic
- Set up an environment variable to this file:

When is a floating license seat checked out and checked in?

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700

For an Intel compiler product, the license is checked out (allocated) at the very beginning when compiler or debugger is started; and returned when the compiler or debugger work is *done*.

NOTE: For performance libraries (Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives, Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks, and Intel(R) Math Kernel Library), and other Intel software tools products, license check-out is only done during product installation.

All compiler floating license seats are available on a first-come first-served basis for check-out by any number of compiler products installed on client systems that have been configured to check-out floating license seats from the license host server system.

However if all license seats are allocated for the requested compiler product, additional users need to wait for one of the client systems to release a floating license seat. This is automatically done in our compiler and debugger products, and means that some users may experience some compiling delay. The wait time for a compiler license seat is "forever", until a license seat is available. The wait time is not configurable by end user.

User may configure their license server to make some features "linger" a period of time so that the license will be "reserved" during this period after the license is returned by the compiler. No linger time is setting by default, so the compiler license seat is usually eturned immediately.

To determine how many floating license seats are checked-out, use the command lmstat. This can be executed on the server using -c argument.

1. On the license host server system:

For Linux execute << lmstat -a -c >> where is the name and path to the floating license file.

For Windows execute << lmutil lmstat -a -c >> where is the name and path to the floating license file.

2. On a client system, where the appropriate INTEL_LICENSE_FILE has been correctly set to point to the license host server system:

For Linux execute << lmstat -a >>

For Windows execute << lmutil lmstat -a >>

3. The Macrovision FLEXnet (new name for FLEXlm) End User Guide provides details and examples on using the lmstat command. The guide from Macrovision can be found at (version 11.4):

http://www.minitab.com/uploadedFiles/Shared_Resources/Documents/License_Management/flexnet_licensing_end_user_guide.pdf

or at (version 10.8):
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.faqs/stockdata/9/enduser.pdf

4. Here's some example output below for Linux using Intel's FLEXlm

license host manager. The output includes information about total number of licenses issued and total number in use.
