Configure the installation

You must configure the installation to point to your Autodesk Licensing (ADLM) server, before you can run solvers. The license server can be a Windows or Linux machine, that is accessible on your network.

To change the ADLM server location, use the supplied shell script:

/opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami20YY-RR/sbin/reconfigure

where 20YY refers to the release year, and RR is the sub-release.

The syntax is:

/opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami20YY-RR/sbin/reconfigure ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=@[hostname]

where [hostname] is the name or IPv4 address of the server. Do not type the brackets.

Note: Spacing is important; there must be no spaces around the = or @ signs.

Example: Your ADLM server is called my-adlm-server. Enter the following command to set the installation to use this server:

# /opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami20YY-RR/sbin/reconfigure ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=@my-adlm-server

Fastpath: You can edit the file /etc/opt/Autodesk/ami20YY-RR by hand instead of using the reconfigure shell script. The format is the same as the argument to the script.
