Teamwork Cloud requires a FlexNet license server to operate. It can be installed on the same system or on a separate machine. This chapter explains how to use the install_flex_centos_rhel.sh automated deployment script, which downloads all required components, deploys the server, creates the systemctl service entry to control it, and creates the necessary firewall rules to allow the required traffic. The firewall rules are created for both the internal and public zones. The script may require modification depending on the zone where the interface is located. However, if the firewall is not running when the installation script is executed, the rules are not be created. In addition, the script creates the lmadmin user, which runs the lmadmin service.

To install the FlexNet server
Run the install_flex_centos_rhel.sh script to start the installation and follow the installer instructions.
Note All the default values presented by the installer should be accepted except for the installation directory which should be changed when prompted (see step 2).
- When you are prompted to choose the installation directory, change the default directory to /opt/local/FNPLicenseServerManager.
After the lmadmin service is installed, start it by executing the following command:
Code Block language bash theme DJango linenumbers true sudo systemctl start lmadmin
To check if the service is running, execute the following command:
Code Block language bash theme DJango linenumbers true sudo systemctl status lmadmin
Troubleshooting
If the Imadmin service failed to start, it is often because the built-in web server cannot resolve the hostname.
To check if this is the case, execute the following commands:
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
cd /opt/local/FNPLicenseServerManager/logs tail web.log |
You will see output similar to the following where yourhostname is the name of the host:

[Tue May 02 18:43:27 2017] [alert] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: mod_unique_id: unable to find IPv4 address of "yourhostname" Configuration Failed |
If this is the case, edit the /etc/hosts file and add the following entry so the webserver could resolve the host:
