Supercomputing and other floating licenses

If you are using floating licenses for an HPC cluster, you need to use Linaro Forge 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/linaro/forge/<version>/licences/Licence

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

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

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