Workstation and evaluation licenses

Linaro Forge supports separate license files for Linaro DDT, Linaro MAP, and Linaro Performance Reports with a single installation of Linaro 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 Linaro Forge do not require Linaro Forge Licence Server.

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

Warning

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/linaro/forge/<version>/licences/Licence.ddt.

    Note

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

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

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

    export FORGE_LICENSE_DIR=${HOME}/SomeOtherLicenceDir

    Note

    You can use FORGE_LICENSE_DIR, FORGE_LICENCE_DIR, ALLINEA_LICENSE_DIR, and ALLINEA_LICENCE_DIR interchangeably.
