Floating license with FlexLM server running on linux host

[thomasschaefer]

We have purchased a floating license for CodeWarrior Development Suite for Networked Applications. For the license we want to use our existing FlexLM server application running on a CentOS 5.11 linux machine.

After installation the generated license.dat file on the server machine, flexlm service was restarted but was not able to integrate the license.dat file for the CodeWarrior suite. Obviously the appropriate vendor daemon is missing on the linux host.

I could only find the 'Floating License Installation Guide for Windows' on NXP site, so I wonder if FlexLM server for CodeWarrior Suite is only supported on Windows hosts?

Or is there a way to use our existing FlexLM server on the linux machine?

Best regards,

Thomas

Found license manager installer for linux on NXP site under https://www.nxp.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=CWX-FLEX-LM-LIN-V8-4

A description how to use floating licenses with a linux server can be found here: https://community.nxp.com/thread/454931

With this I was able to get our floating license running on linux FlexLM server machine.
