Differences between Floating
and Node-Locked Licenses
Floating
License
Floating licenses are
licenses that are available for more than one
computer in a network. Floating licenses are issued based
on the Host-ID of one particular computer. This computer becomes
the license server. All computers that
can communicate with this license server can use the licenses managed
by this computer. For this to work, the same license file must
be installed on all participating computers, including the license
server. The FLEXlm license manager software must only
run on the license server. A floating license can have just
one license for a program like TopSpin. In such a case, the respective
program can be started once on one computer in the network. If
more than one license is available, as many copies of the program
as are covered by the license can be started simultaneously. For
example, if you have a license file with 5 licenses for TopSpin,
TopSpin can be started 5 times from any 5 computers in the network.
The number of licenses is stated in the FEATURE for the respective
program.
1-Server
/ 3-Server License
Floating licenses can be ordered as 1-server or 3-server licenses.
In a 1-server license you have only one
license server, and in a
3-server license there are three license
servers defined in the license file.
- The advantage of a 1-server license
is that it is only necessary to have one computer active at
a time to make the license available.
- The advantage of a 3-server license
is that any of the three license servers can be inactive and
the license management is then done by the remaining two servers.
- One requirement for the three license
servers is that all of them have TCP/IP active.
- The operating system on the three
computers can be the same or can be different (Linux, SGI IRIX,
Windows).
Node-Locked
License
A node-locked license allows
you to start the respective program only on the computer with the Host-ID
for which that license was generated. No other computer
can use the license in the way described above for floating licenses. A node-locked uncounted license cannot be used in a Windows Terminal Services session.
License
Transfer
A license transfer occurs when you have a valid
license and you would like to transfer it to another computer (server).
This means, that the Host-ID changes on which the license is based.
Such a case typically arises when you replace a computer because
of hardware problems or when it is stolen. A license transfer can
be ordered from your Bruker representative. The license itself
can be ordered with the License Request Form.
Bruker Order Numbers
The eight-digit Bruker order number refers
to the purchase of the software
license. If in doubt you can also use the order number of one of
your
spectrometers. For this, open the door(s) of the console cabinet
and have a look
for an eight-digit number. In case you cannot find the respective
number please
contact your local Bruker representative.
The word "internal" must be entered instead of an order
number for Bruker internal licenses (Bruker employees only).
How to get the Host-ID
The Host-ID looks different under the different
operating systems:
- Windows: 12-digit, alphanumeric number;
- Linux: 12-digit, alphanumeric number;
- Mac OS X: 12-digit, alphanumeric number;
- SGI IRIX: 8-digit, alphanumeric number.
There are four possibilities to get the
Host-ID:
1. Neither FLEXlm nor TopSpin/XWIN-NMR
is installed:
Windows |
Open a command prompt and enter:
ipconfig/all |
Take the "Physical Address".
If there are more than one, use the address that belongs to
a cable-based Ethernet adapter. Do
not select a WLAN or Bluetooth adapter. Read the adapter's
description above the address carefully if in doubt. |
Linux |
Open a shell and enter:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 |
Take the digits of the "HWaddr". |
Mac OS X
|
Open a shell and enter:
/sbin/ifconfig en0 |
Take the digits of "ether". |
SGI IRIX |
Open a shell and enter:
(echo "obase=16";sysinfo -s)|bc |
Take the digits that are
given. |
2. FLEXlm is installed:
Windows |
Open a command prompt and enter:
c:\flexlm\Bruker\lmutil lmhostid |
Take the number
that is given.
If there are more than one, execute the command ipconfig /all.
Use the address that belongs to a cable-based Ethernet adapter.
Do
not select a WLAN or Bluetooth adapter. Read the adapter's
description above the address carefully if in doubt. |
Linux |
Open a shell and enter:
/usr/local/flexlm/Bruker/lmhostid |
Take the digits that are
given. |
SGI IRIX |
Open a shell and enter:
/usr/local/flexlm/Bruker/lmhostid |
Take the digits that are
given. |
3. TopSpin/XWIN-NMR is installed:
Windows |
Use the Host-ID
listed in the command prompt window that is opened when you
start TopSpin/XWIN-NMR without a license file.
In this case you have to click several times on 'Cancel'
when FLEXlm asks where to find the license file. |
Linux |
Open a shell
and enter: topspin. |
If there is no valid license,
the required Host-ID will be listed. |
Mac OS X
|
Start TopSpin. |
If there is no valid license,
the required Host-ID will shown in a dialog window. |
SGI IRIX |
Open a shell and enter:
xwinnmr |
Take the digits that are
given. |
For more details, please refer to the TopSpin Installation Guide of the
respective operating system (navigate to 'Installation Guides and Licensing').
4. HyStar only:
No Host-ID required. Leave all Host-ID fields blank if only HyStar licenses are ordered . |
