You will need a license file supplied by Altair Engineering, Inc. to complete the
licensing process. If you do not have a license, contact your account manager at
Altair Engineering, Inc. or your local Altair support office for assistance. With
your request, provide the Hostid value of your license server.
-
To obtain the host ID for the machine, run the following command:
<install_location>/bin/almutil -hostid
This provides all the Altair supported valid Hostids for this machine.
If you are using one of the Ethernet based Hostids, choose one that is on a
permanent interface. Some interfaces are for VPNs or other software based
adapters that may not always be present.
-
When you receive your license file, place it in the
<install_location> directory. By default it should
be in a file named altair_lic.dat. You can check the name
by looking in the altair-serv.cfg file and finding the
value for LICENSE_FILE.
- Optional:
Change the setting in the altair-serv.cfg file to point to your new license
file, if necessary.
