M1.4 - How do I auto-start a floating license on a PC?

描述


General Description:

The M1 software licensing scheme uses a LICENSE.DAT file that contains a list

of features to which the user has access. This license file can either be "node-

locked" or "floating." (For a description of the differences, see

(Xilinx Solution 2001).



The floating license must be started by the administrator of the license server machine,

but no autostart feature is built into the License Manager software. This solution

describes a method for easily starting and stopping the XILINXD license Daemon on a

PC license server machine running Windows 95 or Windows NT.

解决方案


Create an icon that will auto-start the Xilinx license manager by following

these steps. These instructions apply to both Windows 95 and Windows NT.



1. Right-click on the Windows background and select New->Shortcut.



2. In the Command Line field, enter:



<path_to_Xilinx>\bin\nt\lmgrd.exe -app -c <path_to_license.dat_file>



For example, with the default settings, this would look like:



C:\XILINX\BIN\NT\LMGRD.EXE -app -c C:\FLEXLM\LICENSE.DAT



Then, click on "Next."



3. Give this icon a name, like "Xilinx M1 License Auto-start", then click on "Finish."



4. Next, right-click on the new icon and select "Properties." Under the Shortcut tab,

change the value in the Run field to "Minimized" (use the pull-down menu on the

right side of this field).



You can also change the icon under this tab by clicking on "Change Icon".



Click on "OK" to complete your changes.





This autostart feature can be run when Windows is started by placing this icon

in the StartUp program group. Follow these steps to do so:



1. Right-click on the Windows 95/NT Taskbar and select "Properties."



2. Under the Start Menu Programs tab, select "Advanced."



3. On the right-hand side of the Explorer window that has opened, double-

click on "Programs," then "StartUp."



4. Drag and drop the new Auto-start icon from the Desktop to this StartUp

folder while holding down the CTRL key. (The CTRL key will cause this

function to be a "copy" rather than a "move".) Close the Explorer and click

on "OK" in the Taskbar Properties box.



Now, whenever Windows is started, the Xilinx License Manager will also be started.



You should also create an icon that will shut down the License Server before

quitting Windows.



1. Right-click on the Windows background and select New->Shortcut.



2. In the Command Line field, enter:



<path_to_Xilinx>\bin\nt\lmutil.exe lmdown -c <path_to_license.dat_file>



For example, with the default settings, this would look like:



C:\XILINX\BIN\NT\LMUTIL.EXE lmdown -c C:\FLEXLM\LICENSE.DAT



Then, click on "Next."



3. Give this icon a name, like "Shut Down Xilinx M1 License", then click on "Finish."



4. Next, right-click on the new icon and select "Properties." Under the Shortcut tab,

change the value in the Run field to be "Minimized" (use the pull-down menu on the

right side of this field).



You can also change the icon under this tab by clicking on "Change Icon".



Click on "OK" to complete your changes.



Simply double-click on this icon to shut down the XILINXD process.
