Setting up Licenses on UNIX Systems
Use the following information to set up licenses for IC-CAP on UNIX systems. After you install IC-CAP using the steps described in Chapter 4, "Installing IC-CAP on UNIX Systems," you will need to set up the FLEXnet license manager and your IC-CAP license file (license.lic) before you can run IC-CAP.
IC-CAP uses Macrovision's Flexible License Manager (FLEXnet) software for all software security configurations. When you run the IC-CAP Setup program, the FLEXnet software is installed at <installation folder>/licenses/bin where <installation folder> is the destination folder you specified when you ran Setup.
For Linux systems, you can use one of the following methods to run the FLEXnet licensing system on your PC:
| • | Install a USB FLEXid hardware key. |
| • | Read your LAN card's ethernet ID. |
For information on installing a FLEXid hardware key, see the FLEXid_README.pdf file located in the doggle_sup directory on the IC-CAP installation image (CD or downloaded). This directory also contains the files needed to install a USB hardware key. For the most up-to-date files, contact your hardware key vendor.
For details on using FLEXnet, refer to the Macrovision website at:
