Specifying the Port Number and Host Name of License Server

If you select the Network/Floating Licensing option, use the Set Port and Server dialog box to specify the port number and the host name of the license server.



Procedure

  1. Type in the Port number. The default value in the license file is 1717.
  2. Type in the host name of the license server.
    Tip

    If you are not sure about either the Port number or host name, consult your license server system administrator.

  3. Click Next to validate the port number and host name of the server. This step adds the port@host value (FlexNet syntax) to the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. If the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE environment variable already exists, it adds the port@host to the end of the value (and uses the semi-colon character as the delimiter). After validation completes, the installation proceeds with “Completing License Configuration”.

    If you need to define three license servers as part of a redundant server configuration, you need to set the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE environment variable manually. For example:

    MGLS_LICENSE_FILE = 1717@red_server1;1717@red_server2;1717@red_server3

    For more information on setting environment variables, refer to “Environment Variables”. For more information on the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE variable or redundant server configurations, refer to the Licensing Mentor Graphics Software manual (mgc_licen.pdf) available from the release_documents directory in the download or from Support Center.
