License management

Licensing environment variable

You can set an environment variable to specify one or several license file(s) or host name(s).

For the SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER variable, it can be set to the following values:

  • A list of full paths to license files (including the name of the license files), these are separated by a colon ( : ) on Linux or a semicolon ( ; ) on Windows.

  • A list of port@host where port and host are the TCP/IP port number and the host name from the HOST line in the license file. Alternatively, use the shortcut specification, @host, if the license file HOST line uses the default TCP/IP port (28000). A list of several port@host can be used for a server redundant configuration. For example: port1@host1:port2@host2, or port1@host1;port2@host2 For example: @MY_LIC_SERVER (for a standard installation) or 28000@MY_LIC_SERVER

Note

You can create a list containing both port@host and full license path files. When several license files or hostnames are set, Simcenter Amesim licenses are first taken from the first license or hostname of the list.
