I have multiple floating license files for the same server and want to combine them into one. How can I achieve this?

The User's guide on the server will be installed after the FLEXlm license manager is installed.
Please refer to 4.3 Combining Multiple License Files session in Chapter 4: Using the Client Application
for the First Time.
Here is the instructions on this part.
To combine license server files of different products into a single license file, follow these steps:
1. Concatenate the files
2. Remove the duplicate SERVER and VENDOR lines
To combine license server files for the same product:
1. Concatenate the files
2. Remove the duplicate SERVER and VENDOR lines
3. Remove the PACKAGE line.
Note that expiration dates can be different, and the number of seats can be different. For nonserver
licenses, the INCREMENT line is replaced by a FEATURE line. If a license server file has a
FEATURE line instead of an INCREMENT line, you must generate a new license.

Identifying the Host Name and Host ID
The host name and host ID are system-level identifiers on supported platforms that
are used in the license file to identify the node on which you plan to install the Intel
License Manager for FLEXlm* and license file. To enable you to obtain a counted
license, these unique values must be available when you register your product. For
node-locked licenses, you will also need the host name and host id of the node from
which your applications will run, if different from the node for the Intel License
Manager for FLEXlm*. Follow these directions to obtain the host name and host id for
each supported platform:

Microsoft Windows*
1. From the Start menu, click Run...
2. Type cmd in the Open: field, then click OK.
3. Type ipconfig /all at the command prompt, and press Enter.
In the resulting output, host name is the value that corresponds to Host Name, and
host id is the value that corresponds to Physical Address.

For example, if the output of ipconfig /all included the following:
Host Name . . . . . . . : mycomputer
. . .
Physical Address . . . . : 00-06-29-CF-74-AA
then host name is mycomputer and the host ID is 00-06-29-CF-74-AA.

Linux*
1. Run the hostname command to display the host name.
2. Run the command /sbin/ifconfig eth0 to display the hardware address.
For example, if the /sbin/ifconfig eth0 command returns
HWaddr 00:D0:B7:A8:80:AA, then the host ID is 00:D0:B7:A8:80:AA.
It is strongly recommended that users run the lmhostid utility to obtain the hostid
value required to generate the counted licenses. The lmhostid utility can be found in
the install location to which Intel License Manager for FLEXlm* is installed.

Mac OS* X on Intel® Architecture
1. Run the hostname command to display the host name.
2. Run the command /sbin/ifconfig en0 ether to display the hardware address.
The following is an example of an address that could be returned by this command:
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:13:20:60:23:4f
It is strongly recommended that users run the lmhostid utility to obtain the hostid
value required to generate the counted licenses. The lmhostid utility is installed to
the same location as the Intel License Manager for FLEXlm*.

  1. Find your Serial Number (SN)
  2. Register the SN
  3. Download the product from the Intel Registration and Download center

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

If you have a counted license, you have to do following:

I. Set up the license server
  1. Read the Intel License Manager for FLEXlm* User's Guide
  2. Find the right system for the license server
  3. Download the correct FLEXlm server for license servery system
  4. Install the FLEXlm server:
    • after installation, the license server should start running automatically
    • As for how to manually start or stop the FLEXlm license server, please refer to the FLEXlm user's guide
II. Install the product on the client systems
  1. Set up the client license
  2. On Windows, just run the downloaded product package program. It will automatically extract the package and start the installation.

    3. >> w_cproX_11.1.XXX.exe
  3. On Linux* or Mac OS* X, use following commands to install:

    4. $ tar -xzvf l_cproX_11.1.XXX.tgz
    $ ./install.sh

If you have a single user license, just follow the simple steps below:

  1. The easies way to install is to use your SN. You can find the SN in the email when you purchase the product. See this KB on where to find your SN.
  2. To use the license file to install
    • Save the license file sent to you by email to a directory [lic-dir]\mylic_file.lic
      • On Windows, we use [common files]\intel\licenses folder as the default license folder
      On Linux or Mac OS X, we use /opt/intel/licenses directory as the default license directory

    • Set up an environment variable to this file:

      • On Windows, use
      >> set INTEL_LICENSE_FILE=[lic-dir]\mylic_file.lic

      On Linux or Mac OS, use
      $ export INTEL_LICENSE_FILE=[lic-dir]\mylic_file.lic
  3. Install the product

    4. On Windows, run the downloaded product package program like below. Use either the license file or SN to install.
    >> w_cproX_11.1.XXX.exe

    On Linux or Mac OX X, use following commands:
    $ tar -xzvf l_cproX_11.1.XXX.tgz
    $ ./install.sh

Must anything special be done to run the Intel license server on an SGI Altix system?
Yes. The standard MAC address used for the hostid in the software key (license file) does not work on Altix* and Prism* systems. Refer to the page http://www.sgi.com/support/licensing/swldevisv.html†  for a description of how software license keys work in a partitioned environment (note that this page applies to Origin* systems, not Altix systems, but it does provide a good explanation of the concept).

There are two steps required to resolve the problem:

  1. Run lmhostid in the same partition in which the Intel license server resides, as in the two commands:
    cd /opt/intel/flexlm
    ./lmhostid
  2. Submit an issue to Intel® Premier Support, providing the serial number of the license file, the results of running lmhostid, an indicator of whether this is a floating license or a nodelocked license, and request that a new license be generated for the new hostid.

Be sure to specify that this is for an Altix system by selecting SGI - Linux* for Altix in the Linux Operating System drop-down list. The Intel® Compiler Support team will generate a new license and send it back.


What is the name of the download for a license server to run on an SGI Altix system?
flexlm.Linux.ia64.EL3_SGIAltix.tar.Z


How do you configure a nodelocked license to run on an SGI Altix system running ProPack 3?
The server ID must be configured as described above, namely by using the hostid from running lmhostid in the partition with the Intel license server. For versions of the Intel Compilers prior to 8.1, the client system information is based on the original MAC address information, even if the server and client are the same system. For 8.1 and after, the client information matches the server information.

No. Renewals start from your subscription end date for the serial number that you renew. Example: If you apply a renewal serial number to an original license which had a subscription end date of 10/1/2008, then your renewal license will have a valid subscription from 10/1/2008 to 10/1/2009 no matter when you registered your renewal.

When you purchase a license for one of the Intel® Software Products, you are entitled to the latest version of your product, as well as any new versions which are released during your license period. When your license expires, you are "locked in" to the last version which released during the period, and you are limited in terms of support. A renewal license allows you to extend your support window, providing you with an upgrade path for new versions, premier technical support and associated resources.

While a renewal license is more cost-effective than purchasing a new version, we do not support pro-rated renewals; renewal licenses are applied to the last day of your previous license period and “extend” the support services for the length of the renewal you purchased. In other words, if you purchase a one-year license renewal with two months remaining on your original license, you will have one year and two months of full support. If you purchase a one-year license renewal three months after your previous license expired, you will only have nine months of support remaining. Licensing costs vary by product, however generally if your license expired more than two years ago, a new license costs less than purchasing a three-year renewal.

If you have purchased a renewal license and registered the serial number at the Intel(R) Registration Center, the product install could be finding the old license file during the installation. Please delete the old license file and re-run the installation program with the renewal license file. If you still get the message after deleting the old license file, please submit a support request at Intel(R) Software Startup Help Center and we can help.
