Install the ALM License Server Software

The ALM license server software and configuration files are included with the Accelerator products, and are referred to as the "ALM bundle". The location is $VOVDIR/alm. The files from that location should be copied to a directory local to the server where the Altair License Manager will run. In this example, the location /opt/alm_admin is used. The installation and running of the license server should be done by a "role" account on the Linux machine. Here, that role account is called almmgr. The steps are as follows:

  1. Log in to the role account almmgr.
  2. Copy the ALM bundle to the ALM installation location: 
    % cp –r $VOVDIR/alm /opt/alm_admin

  3. Copy your ALM license file ALUS_ALUS*.dat into /opt/alm_admin.
