Install Arm Licence Server

Install remotely using the textinstall.sh text-mode install script.

Before you begin

Arm® Licence Server is only available for Linux systems.

Procedure

  1. Download a release of Arm® Licence Server from the Arm Licence Server downloads webpage.

  2. Run the textinstall.sh install script provided by using these commands:

    tar xf arm-licence-server-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar

    cd arm-licence-server-<version>-linux-<arch>

    ./textinstall.sh
    • Replace <version> with the four digit version number of your installation package using the format xx.x for major product releases, and the format xx.x.x for support releases.
    • Replace <arch> with the required architecture (aarch64, x86_64, ppc64le).

  3. When you are prompted, press Return to read the license, and enter the path of the installation directory.

    Note

    Alternatively, run the text-mode install script textinstall.sh, accept the license, and point to an installation directory in one step. You can do this when you execute textinstall.sh using –accept-licence and <installation-directory>.

    For example:

    ./textinstall.sh --accept-licence <installation_directory>

    Replace <installation_directory> with your preferred directory.
