How to Install the License

How to Install the License

The mscsetup utility automatically installs the license.dat file if you provide it during
installation. The license file may be located anywhere on your license server. MSC recommends locating
it in:
/msc/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
Clients with network-licensed MSC.Software installations are encouraged to employ the most recent
versions of the FLEXlm and MSC licensing daemons (lmgrd,lmutil,msc). These binaries maintain
downward compatibility and regular upgrades are recommended regardless of whether or not the current
software application level requires the upgrade.
Updates are available at:
http://www.mscsoftware.com/support/software_updates/licserver.cfm
or from the MSC external ftp site:
ftp://ftp.mscsoftware.com/pub/msc-products/system_util/flexlm
