How do I access the licenses on the client side?

Node-locked licenses

  1. Please copy your license file to a user-defined directory, for example, C:\HighTec\licenses.

  2. After that, you must set the environment variable RLM_LICENSE to the location of your license file for the machine to be able to find your license. In this case, it would look like this: RLM_LICENSE=c:\HighTec\licenses.

If you are using the HighTec IDE, you can use our license manager. Instructions for how to install the IDE and set up the license manager can be found in the IDE Quick Start Guide.

Floating-cached licenses

To access the license server, you need to set up the RLM_LICENSE variable and point it to your license server, i.e., set RLM_LICENSE=<host_name>@<port_number>. This needs to be done for each client machine trying to access the license server.

You can also specify multiple license servers. The servers will be scanned in the order given in the environment variable RLM_LICENSE. As a separator, you have to use ";" for Windows and ":" for Linux.
