Workstation and evaluation licenses

Arm® Forge supports separate license files for Arm® DDT, Arm® MAP, and Arm® Performance Reports with a single installation of Arm® Forge.

About this task

This task shows the steps for installing workstation and evaluation licenses directly on the installation machine.

Workstation and evaluation license files for Arm® Forge do not require Arm® Licence Server.

If there are multiple licenses installed for the same product, Arm® Forge uses the license with the most tokens.

Note

Do not edit license files because this prevents them from working.

Procedure

  1. Copy your license files to {installation-directory}/licences. For example, /home/user/arm/forge/<version>/licences/Licence.ddt.

    Note

    Arm® Forge accepts directories spelled licence or license. For example, both of these paths are valid license file locations: /opt/arm/licenses and /opt/arm/licences.

  2. When Arm® Forge starts, select Arm® DDT or Arm® MAP on the Welcome page.

    If you would prefer to store the license files in an alternative location, use the environment variable ALLINEA_LICENCE_DIR to specify it. For example:

    export ALLINEA_LICENCE_DIR=${HOME}/SomeOtherLicenceDir

    Note

    You can use ALLINEA_LICENSE_DIR, ALLINEA_LICENCE_DIR, ARM_LICENSE_DIR, and ARM_LICENCE_DIR interchangeably.
