Install netls_eoe.sw.netls_eoe if it isn't already installed.

Start the license administration command ls_admin:

/usr/etc/ls_admin 

A window border appears. After you position the window border and click the left mouse button, the window shown in Figure 5-1 or one very similar appears. The Network License Server you wish to install a license onto should be listed in the Servers area.

Select the Network License Server you wish to use by clicking on it in the Servers area.

Click the Add Vendor... button in the Operations area. An ADD VENDOR window appears. Figure 5-2 shows this window after it has been filled in as described in the next few steps.

Click the Done button.

If you get a NOTIFICATION window with the message “A vendor already exists under this name,” click its Dismiss button and click the Cancel button in the ADD VENDOR window.

If the diamond in the Vendor button in the ls_admin Window isn't selected, click the Vendor button. The Servers area changes to a Vendors area with the vendor you just added selected, and the buttons in the Operations area change as shown in Figure 5-3.

If there is a license annotation listed on the license information sheet, enter it in the License Annotation field.

Click the Done button. The concurrent license has been installed.

If just one license is listed on the license information sheet, skip to step 23. If there are two or more licenses listed, each license needs to be installed on the Network License Server it was created for, so continue with this procedure.

Click the Vendor button in the Operate On area.

Click the Copy Vendor... button in the Operations area. A COPY VENDOR window appears.

Select the Network License Server that you want to install the second license on the license information sheet on.

Save the license information sheet; you may need it again later if you need to reinstall this license.

Become superuser:

/bin/su - 
Password: 

Install netls_eoe.sw.netls_eoe if it isn't already installed.

Specify the vendor information for the license:

/usr/etc/ls_admin -a -n license_server -v v_name v_id v_password

license_server is the host name of the Network License Server you are installing the license on. v_name, v_id, and v_password are the vendor name, vendor ID, and vendor password shown on the license information sheet. If any of these strings contain spaces, the strings must be surrounded with double quotes (").

An example is:

/usr/etc/ls_admin -a -n express -v "Silicon Graphics" \
546fb4684914.02.c0.1a.3d.52.00.00.00 m9p9rovbcy238

Specify the product information for the license:

/usr/etc/ls_admin -a -n license_server -l l_annotation \
-p v_name p_name l_password p_version

license_server is the same as in step 3. l_annotation is the annotation shown on the license information sheet (omit –l l_annotation if there is no license annotation). v_name, p_name, l_password, and p_version are the vendor name, product name, license password, and product version from the license information sheet. If any of these strings contain spaces, the strings must be surrounded with double quotes (").

An example is:

/usr/etc/ls_admin -a -n express -p "Silicon Graphics" \
CASEVision/Workshop 45nuhusrc5atda5wq7q3sn78fnaa 1.1.1

If just one license password is listed on the license information sheet, the license is installed and you can skip to step 8. If there are two or more license passwords listed and just one set of vendor password, name, and ID, continue with this procedure.

Copy the vendor information to another Network License Server:

/usr/etc/ls_admin -f license_server -n other_server -v v_name

license_server and v_name are the same Network License Server and vendor name as in steps 3 and 4. other_server is the Network License Server you want to install the license on. If any of these strings contain spaces, the strings must be surrounded with double quotes ("). For example:

/usr/etc/ls_admin -f express -n annie \
-v "Silicon Graphics"

Specify the product information for the second license:

/usr/etc/ls_admin -a -n other_server -l l_annotation \
-p v_name p_name l_password2 p_version

other_server is the same as in step 5. l_annotation is the license annotation shown on the license information sheet (omit -l l_annotation if there is no license annotation). v_name, p_name, l_password2, and p_version are the vendor name, product name, second license password, and product version from the license information sheet. If any of these strings contain spaces, the strings must be surrounded with double quotes ("). For example:

/usr/etc/ls_admin -a -n annie \
-p "Silicon Graphics" "CASEVision/Workshop" \
j8wh4wrdewgjuuspwfhntwvngwaa "1.1.1" 

Repeat steps 5 and 6 if there are additional licenses listed on the license information sheet.

Save the license information sheet; you may need it again later if you need to reinstall this license.
