WorkShop Installation and Licensing Guide: -

# Glossary |

daemon options file

  A file stored on your license server allowing the user to control access to products. The default directory is: `/etc/opt/licenses/daemon_options`

demonstration license

  Demo licenses, also called "Try and Buy," allow you to evaluate any Developer Products software for a specified period of time, free of charge. A Demo license does not need a license daemon to run, and allows an unlimited number of concurrent licenses.

device name

  A name referring to hardware. The device for the CD-ROM is usually `/dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2` for Solaris 2.x, and `/dev/sr0` for Solaris 1.x. It may be different depending on your machine or on how you configure it.

diskless client

  A machine on a network that does not have a disk and relies on a server for file storage and other basic services. Do not install the licensing software on a diskless client.

license daemon

  The license manager daemon (`lmgrd.ste`) monitors the requests for access to the Developer Products software. This daemon also handles the communication between the software application requested for use, and the vendor daemon.

license server

  The workstation or server running the license daemon. FLEXlm 4.1, the licensing software, must be installed on the license server(s) to configure the workstation/server properly.

LIC_CONFIG_SCRIPT

  This script is created by the License Installation Tool to provide a list of products on the CD. You must run `LIC_CONFIG_SCRIPT` on each product server that does not simultaneously function as a license server.

LIC_CONFIG_SCRIPT.combined

  A file that contains configuration information for all previously installed Sun products licensed using FLEXlm.

LINGER

  A command for the daemon_options file that causes licenses to be held by the vendor daemon after the application checks thems in or exits.

package dependencies

  When a package you install depends on other packages to be installed to run. For example, if you install a compiler, you must also install backend component, header file, and front-end component packages.

password checksum (PC)

  A number verifying the information your provided to the Sun License Center. The hostname, hostid, product, company name, and company address all contribute to the generation of this number.

product server

  A machine on which the product software is installed. The product server can be the same machine as the license server, or a different machine.

redundant license servers

  Three servers acting as a single license server.

server

  A machine that provides a network service. For example, disk storage and file transfers must be performed on a server.

server pool

  Two or more independent servers combined so that users can obtain a license token from any one of the servers.

target directory

  The directory where you want to install Developer Products products and licenses.

vendor daemon

  The daemon that tracks which users have licenses for a product, if they are checked out, and how many licenses are available. This daemon, `suntechd`, runs on the license server.

workshop_install_patch

  The command that installs product patches.
