If the license server is to be run in Windows, follow the instructions in:

• Windows Network Licensing

If the license server is to be run in UNIX or Linux, follow the instructions in:

• UNIX and Linux Network Licensing

• Maple 8 Only
• Maple 8 and Previous Versions of Maple

Maple 8 Only

The FLEXlm/Windows directory, installed in the Maple 8 folder and on the Maple 8 CD, contains a directory for each platform. These directories contain license manager daemons (lmgrd and maplelmg) required to run Maple, as well as utilities to assist you in installing and configuring FLEXlm for your system.

Requirements
You will require a network license file, called maple8.lic by default. If you already have information from Waterloo Maple about this license file, visit http://register.maplesoft.com and follow the instructions. Waterloo Maple will email the license file. If you do not have access to the Internet or email, contact your Waterloo Maple sales representative at 1.800. 267. 6583. When you receive the network license file, save it in a temporary, accessible location.

Complete the following tasks:

• Task 1: Configure the License Files
• Task 2: Start the License Manager Daemons

Task 1: Configure the License Files

To configure the license files on a Windows Network Server:

1. From the FLEXlm/Windows folder, double-click Network_License_Installer.exe.
2. In the new license file field of the Maple Network License Installer dialog box, enter or browse for the name and location of the network license file (by default, maple8.lic) that you received from Waterloo Maple Inc.
3. If you entered a Server Name on installation, it appears in the Name field. You can use that name, enter a new name, or provide an IP Address.
4. In the Destination and name of license file field, enter or browse for the location and filename under which to save the license file. (C:\Program Files\Maple 8\FLEXlm\Windows\maple8.lic is recommended).
5. Click OK.

The network license file is copied to the specified location. The network license file and the license.dat file in the License folder are configured with the appropriate server name.

Note: You can use the Network License Installer to change the name of your server (for example, if you move Maple to a new server). In this case, the new license file and the Destination and name of license file would be the same. You can also use Network License Installer to update your license file should Waterloo Maple send you a new one. In this case, the new license file would be the new one that Waterloo Maple sends and the Destination would be the path and filename where the existing license file is located.

Task 2: Start the License Manager Daemons

If you intend to use a Novell server, see Novell Networks.

Requirements
For the following instructions, you require the lmtools executable, located in the FLEXlm/Windows folder in your Maple folder. If the FLEXlm/Windows folder is not already on the license manager server, copy it from the Maple folder or the Maple 8 CD.

To set up and start the license manager daemons on a Windows Network Server:

1. Double-click lmtools.exe.
2. Under the Service/License File tab, click Configuration using Services.
3. Click the Configure Services tab.
4. In the Configure Services property sheet, enter or browse for the Path to the lmgrd.exe file and the Path to the license file (for example, C:\Program Files\Maple 8\FLEXlm\Windows\maple8.lic). If you had a previous version of Maple installed, the default may still point to the old location.
5. Though not required, we recommend that you use a log file for the debug information. In the Path to the debug log file field, enter or browse for its location and enter a filename. (We suggest C:\Program Files\Maple 8\FLEXlm\Windows)
6. For Windows NT and Windows 2000, select the Use Services check box to set up the daemons as a service. (This option is not needed to start the daemons under Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME so it is not available for selection on those platforms.)
7. If you want the daemons to start at boot time, select the Start Server at Power Up check box.
8. Click Save Service. When prompted to save the service, click Yes.
9. Click the Start/Stop/Reread tab. In that property sheet, click Start Server to start the license manager daemons.

Windows Network Licensing Maple 8 and Previous Versions of Maple

To run previous releases of Maple and Maple 8, you must put all the license files in the same directory as the Maple 8 license file. (Or, if you have other license files stored in one central location, you can store the Maple 6, 7, and 8 license files there as well.) Follow these instructions for Windows Network Licensing for Maple 8 and Previous Versions of Maple. Note: This does not apply to releases prior to Maple 6.

Maple 8 Only

Complete the following tasks:

• Task 1: Install the License File
• Task 2: Start the License Manager Daemons

Task 1: Install the License File

The licenses can be served from any supported platform on the network. If you intend to serve licenses from Windows, see Windows Network Licensing.

Requirements
You will require a network license file, called maple8.lic by default. If you already have information from Waterloo Maple about this license file, visit http://register.maplesoft.com and follow the instructions. Waterloo Maple will email the license file. If you do not have access to the Internet or to email, contact your Waterloo Maple sales representative at 1. 800. 2670. 6583. When you receive the network license file, save it in a temporary, accessible location.

To configure the license file:

1. From the FLEXlm\UNIX directory, run the INSTALL_LIC script.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions

Note: You can use the INSTALL_LIC script to change the name of your server (for example, if you move Maple to a new server). In this case, answer each question by pointing to the same license file. You can also use the INSTALL_LIC script to update your license file should Waterloo Maple send you a new one. In this case, the new license file would be the one that Waterloo Maple sends and the directory in which to store the file would be the path and filename where the existing license file is located.

Task 2: Start the License Manager Daemons

Before you can use Maple 8, you must start the license server.  It is recommended that you do not run lmgrd as root since any process run by root is a potential security risk.

Using the C Shell
If you are running in the C shell, enter the following command at the prompt to start the license manager daemon (lmgrd):

lmgrd_path -c license_file_path -l debug_log &

where lmgrd_path is the full filename and path of lmgrd; license_file_path is the full filename and path of the network license file (by default, /usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/maple8.lic); and debug_log is the name of a file to which debugging information is written. This command creates the file. The option used is the letter l, not the number 1 (one).

Running the License Manager
If Maple was installed in the default location and you are running the license manager on a Linux system, enter the following command at the prompt to start the license manager daemon:

/usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/UNIX/LINUX/lmgrd -c /usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/maple8.lic -l /usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/logfile 

Using the Korn or Bourne Shell
If you are using either the Korn or Bourne shell, enter the following command at the prompt:

nohup lmgrd_path -c license_file_path -l debug_log 2>&1 &

Daemons Run on Startup

To have the daemons run on startup, edit the appropriate boot script (such as /etc/rc.boot, /etc/rc.local, or /etc/rc2.d/Sxxxx). For example, if you run lmgrd as a boot startup script, you can run it as a regular user by using the following su command at the prompt:

su username -c 'umask 022; path/lmgrd -c path/license_file -l path/log'

where username is a nonprivileged user; path is the correct path to lmgrd, network license file, and the debug log file; and license_file is the network license file. It is recommended that the network license file be called maple8.lic.

Help For Starting License Server
If you have any problems starting the license server in the UNIX system bootup files, refer to the GLOBEtrotter FAQs at http://www.globetrotter.com/flxlmfaq/TOC.htm.

Maple 8 and Previous Versions of Maple

Complete the following tasks:

• Task 1: Stop the License Manager
• Task 2: Move and Rename Previous Maple License Files
• Task 3: Configure the License Manager Daemons
• Task 4: Start the License Manager Daemons

Task 1: Stop the License Manager

1. Go to the location of FLEXlm utilities that are currently being used. For Maple 8, the default location is /usr/local/maple8/FLEXlm/UNIX/Platform where Platform is the platform running the license manager.
2. Enter the command ./lmdown –c /Path_to_network.lic where Path_to_network.lic is the full path and filename for the network license file.

Task 2: Move and Rename Previous Maple License Files

1. Go to the location of FLEXlm utilities for Maple 8. For Maple 8, the default location is /usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/UNIX.
2. Run the file INSTALL_LIC.
3. Move any previous Maple license files (maple6.lic or maple7.lic) to a central location, that is, /usr/local/maple8/FLEXlm/UNIX.

Task 3: Configure the License Manager Daemons

1. Save the license file from Waterloo Maple to your hard drive.
2. From /usr/local/maple/FLEXlm/UNIX, run the file INSTALL_LIC.
3. When prompted, enter the path to the location in which to put the license file. This path should be the same as the one you entered for the previous Maple license files in the Move and Rename Previous Maple License Files section. The default location is /usr/local/maple8/FLEXlm/maple8.lic.
   
4. When prompted, enter the hostname of the license server or select IP Address and enter the IP address of the license server. The hostname or IP address must be identical to the one you entered in the Move and Rename Previous Maple License Files section.
5. When prompted, enter Yes to accept.

Task 4: Start the License Manager Daemons

1. Go to the directory named the operating system on which you intend to run the license manager. For example, go to the UNIX directory if you intend to run the license manager on UNIX.
2. When starting license manager daemons, you must enter the path to the directory containing all license files.
   Note: Point to the directory only, not an actual license file.
3. To start the license manager, enter the following command:

/Path_to_lmgrd -c /Path_to_license_file_directory -l /Path_to_logfile

where Path_to_license_file_directory is the full path to the directory containing the license files.

• Use Single User Mode when only one person is using Maple.
• Use Multiple User Mode if more than one person is using a single copy of Maple. Multiple User Mode enables all licensed users to log in and run Maple using their own default settings.

• To change from Single to Multiple User Mode, change the MultiUserProfile option from 0 to 1.
• To change the location of the user directory, specify the new directory in the UserDirectory option.
