The LSF_LICENSE_FILE parameter in LSF_CONFDIR/lsf.conf points to the LSF license file.
The installation program lsfinstall configures the LSF_LICENSE_FILE parameter automatically for demo licenses only. You must set LSF_LICENSE_FILE manually if you do either of the following:
To configure LSF_LICENSE_FILE, specify the full path name to the license file. A permanent license file should also be visible to the FlexNet license server host using the same path.
For a permanent license, the name of the license server host and TCP port number used by the lmgrd daemon, in the format port@host_name. For example:
For a license with redundant servers, use a colon (:) on UNIX and Linux, and a semicolon (;) on Windows to separate the port@host_names. The port number must be the same as that specified in the SERVER line of the license file. For example:
For a license with distributed servers, use a pipe (|) to separate the port@host_names on UNIX, Linux and Windows. The port number must be the same as that specified in the SERVER line of the license file. For example:
If you installed LSF with a default installation, the license file is installed in the LSF configuration directory (LSF_CONFDIR/license.dat).
If you installed LSF with a custom installation, the license installation directory is the one you specified. The default is the LSF configuration directory (LSF_SERVERDIR for the custom installation).
If you installed FlexNet separately from LSF to manage other software licenses, the default FlexNet installation puts the license file a location you specify, usually:
LSF_LICENSE_FILE can also be the name of the license server host and the port number used by lmgrd in the form port_number@host_name. For example, if your license file contains the line:
