Supercomputing and other floating licenses

If you are using floating licenses for an HPC cluster, you need to use Arm® Licence Server.

Before you begin

About this task

A floating license consists of two files:

  • Server license (Licence.xxxx)
  • Client license (Licence)

Procedure

  1. Copy the client file (Licence) to <installation-directory>. For example:

    /home/user/arm/forge/<version>/licences/Licence

  2. Edit the hostname line to contain the host name or IP address of the machine running the Arm® Licence Server.

  3. See the Arm® Licence Server user guide on the Arm Licence Server web page for instructions on how to install the server license.

  4. Ensure that Arm® Licence Server is running on the designated license server machine before you run Arm® Forge.
