OBTAINING THE LICENSE SERVER HOSTNAME AND FLEXLM HOSTID ON SUPPORTED UNIX/LINUX MACHINES:

1. To an empty working directory, download the appropriate tar file for the UNIX/Linux
   machine that will be a license server. The list below contains the file name and
   system type for each of the available tar files.

      SOLUS64.tar - Sun SPARC 64
      LIN32.tar   - Linux 32
      LINX64.tar  - Linux x64

2. Using the following command, untar the tar file into the working directory,
   substituting the appropriate tar file name from above for <tar_file_name>:

      tar xvf <tar_file_name>

3. Run the getFLEXid utility (./getFLEXid) on each machine that you have designated
   to be a license server.  You will be prompted for information about yourself and
   your company. If you do not know your customer number, leave that field blank.
   The procedure will automatically obtain the machine's hostname, FLEXlm hostid, 
   hardware platform, and operating system level. 

4. The getFLEXid utility both displays the information on the screen and writes it
   to a file named licserver.info.

5. Return the licserver.info file to your ANSYS sales representative.

=============================================================================================

NOTE: Linux 32 and Linux x64 systems require the Linux Standard Base (LSB) package
      to run both the getFLEXid utility above and the ANSYS, Inc. License Manager.
      If this package is missing, you will probably see something similar to one
      of the following errors when you run the getFLEXid utility in step 3 above.

         /lmutil -h
         ./lmutil: No such file or directory

      The LSB package can be installed from the Linux installation media.
