How to add licensing daemons to FLEXlm
---------------------------------------

Flexlm is used by a lot of vendors to provide licensing enforcement for
their products. Almost everyone ships flexlm bundled with their application,
but it is best to use a standalone package of flexlm, since it is more likely
to be fixed and updated than the bundled binary.

You will, however, need one file provided by the vendor, and that is the
actual daemon run by lmgrd. For Matlab, for example, the file is 
lm_matlab. For NAG Fortran Libraries, it's NAG, etc. You shouldn't have
too much trouble to find it in the vendor's tarball.

To add this daemon to your flexlm installation, copy it into the
"daemons" directory in your flexlm install path (e.g. /opt/flexlm/daemons).
Then add the license for the product into /etc/flexlm/lic directory. Your
license file must end with .lic and be a valid flexlm license file.

In the license file you will need to specify the path to the vendor's
licensing daemon. E.g. for Matlab:

DAEMON MLM /opt/flexlm/daemons/MLMR14

Then, after you have placed the daemon and the license file in place, restart
flexlm to read in the new information.
