Installing emergency licenses for license servers unavailable due to network problems

If your network is not reachable, you must install a local license server and emergency license on each of your test system controllers (workstations). 
 
 About this task 
 After you have received the emergency licenses, complete the following procedure on each test system controller (tester workstation). 
 
 
 Before you begin 
 Provide the host ID and hostname of every controller and obtain one (1) emergency license for each controller. 
 If, for example, you have a network problem and 5 workstations are affected, you must get 5 emergency licenses to establish 5 local license servers (one on each workstation). 
 For details, see  Requesting emergency licenses . 
 
 
 Procedure 
 
 Stop any other running local license servers. 
 If not already available, install the FLEXlm executables ( lmgrd, lmutil, ... ) in the directory: /opt/flexlm/bin. 

 If you do not have the executables, download them from: 
 https://www.advantest.com/service-support/ic-test-systems/products-list/v93000-licensing > FLEXlm License Server Software Downloads and Documents 
 
 Create the directory: /opt/flexlm/ELF 
 Copy the emergency licenses to the /opt/flexlm/ELF directory. 
 Start  lmgrd pointing to the /opt/flexlm/ELF  directory:
 /opt/flexlm/bin/lmgrd -c /opt/flexlm/ELF -l /opt/flexlm/log/ log-file-name 
 
 To ensure that SmarTest accesses the emergency license, set the SOCBU_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to the /opt/flexlm/ELF  directory. 
 
 
 
 What to do next 
 After the network problems are fixed: 
 
 Emergency licenses and any backups must be deleted. 
 SOCBU_LICENSE_FILE environment variable must be reset on every test system controller (workstation). 
 License server process lmgrd , pointing to the /opt/flexlm/ELF directory, must be stopped.
