If you have not registered your license, you may do so in the Intel Registration Center by following the steps in this guide: Steps to register a floating license.

You may also activate your license at this time if your license server is not connected to the internet for remote activation. It is important that you have the latest version. The license can be configured to use different ports and change other settings. The Intel Software License Manager installer will automatically activate a license with default settings if it has internet connectivity. If your license server does not have connectivity, you can manually activate the license in the Intel Registration Center.

Activation requires the host name and host ID of the server s to be serving the license. It is strongly recommended that you run the lmhostid utility to obtain the hostid value it will use for license validation.

If you have not installed the license manager, use the instructions below to find the host name and host ID of the system. If multiple IDs are displayed, choose the one associated with eth0.

If the host name command returns a fully qualified domain name, you must use it to configure the license. In the resulting output, host name is the value that corresponds to Host Name, and host ID is the value that corresponds to Physical Address. Note, the host ID will be entered without the dash character. There are several settings you can change in the Intel Registration Center to configure your license file.

This is the daemon used to serve licenses for Intel developer products. It can be specified in the license file, or assigned by the OS each time lmgrd is started. To prevent the INTEL port from changing at lmgrd startup and potentially being blocked by a firewall, it is recommended to specify this port in the license file. This requires the use of three servers defined in the license file, two of which must be active to serve licenses.

License borrowing allows users to hold a license seat for a limited amount of time, such as when working offline. This will completely consume a license seat until it is returned to the server.

It will also include the maximum borrow time, which is defaulted to hours. To change the maximum borrow time, or disable licensing borrowing, you must contact support to get a new license file generated. It is important that the network has been initialized before the license server is started. It is not necessary for server startup be done as root. Use the full path to the license file, including the full license file name. Use the full path where the log file should be created, including the log file filename.
