Set the Client machine environment
variables and run the software
Now that both license servers are running, you need to install the client software and set
environment variables to point the client software to the license servers. This guide does not
cover the ACE and Synplify Pro installation, which in most cases is trivial.
To set the environment variables:
Linux Node Locked / Linux Client Software
Synplify Pro:
Node locked Synplify Prod installations still need a license server running – in this case it
will be running on the same machine as the client software.
Set SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE to port@hostname
i.e. setenv SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE 2700@licenseserver1
Where port is specified in the license file (default is 2700) and licenseserver1 should be
replaced with the name of your license server (which you added to your floating license
server)
If you are running a node-locked linux installation, the ‘server’ name can also be localhost
i.e. setenv SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE 2700@localhost
ACE:
ACE also does not require a license server to be running for node locked installations
Set RLM_LICENSE to /path_to_license_file/ace.lic
i.e. setenv RLM_LICENSE /tools/ace/ace.lic
Windows Node locked / Windows Client Software
Windows node locked licenses do not require a license server to be running. Environment
variables are added to point the software to the license files. This is often done as part of the
installation process. If you need to set this up manually, here is how to do so for Windows 7:
1. Right hand click on ‘Computer’ icon on your desktop, and select ‘Properties’
