License management

Simcenter Amesim uses a License manager to manage per-computer or per-user licensing: FlexNet Publisher from Flexera

The mechanism is based on a client-server configuration. The server setup is described in The license manager installation instructions section.

On the client side, Simcenter Amesim needs to know the host name of the server (or its IP address) and its port number. This information can be supplied by setting an SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable as described in the Licensing environment variable section. This means that all Simcenter Amesim installations using FlexNet Publisher will use the SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable.
