Installation procedure

1. Install the FlexNet license server manager.

   Note

   We highly recommend running the FlexNet license server (lmadmin) as a service (on Windows) or a daemon (on OS X or Linux). As a result, the server can start automatically after the machine boots. Starting the server manually is not user-friendly – there is no GUI for this action. If your operating system is Windows, you only need to select the Run as a service check box when prompted during the lmadmin installation. For the instructions on how to create a daemon, refer to Automatic Start in: License Administration Guide. FlexNet Publisher 2014 R1 (11.12.1) License Administration Guide. FlexNet Publisher 2019 R2 (11.16.4)

   
   

2. Place the vendor daemon - Cameo into the FlexNet server install folder. If you use lmadmin, do the following:

   1. Open the FlexNet server installation folder.

      Note
      title For OS X and Linux users
      If you don't have permission to open the FlexNet server installation folder, execute the following command from the root: On OS X chmod g+x FNPLicenseServerManager/ chmod –R g+w ./* On Linux chmod g+x FNPLicenseServerManager/

      
      

   2. In the open folder, create the licenses\cameo folder.

   3. Place the vendor daemon in <FlexNet server installation folder>\licenses\cameo.
      

      Note
      Note that all files in FNPLicenseServerManager must have read/write permissions. lmadmin or cameo daemon may not start even if a log file or cameo daemon does not have r/w permissions. Use this command to set permissions for all files within the directory recursively. chmod -R 755 FNPLicenseServerManager

      
      

3. Start the server by running the lmadmin file from the FlexNet server installation directory.
