Getting a permanent license

To install Platform LSF for production use, you must get a permanent license from Platform or your LSF vendor.

Platform creates a permanent license that is keyed to the license server host or hosts. Some host types have a built-in hardware host ID; on others, the hardware address of the primary LAN interface is used. For a permanent license to be created, you must supply a server host name and the hardware host identifier for each license server host at your site.

Send the following information to Platform Computing or your Platform LSF vendor.

  • Host name of the license server host

  • Host identifier of the license server host

  • Products required

  • Number of licenses required for your cluster
