Installing Tornado



2.1    Introduction

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing Tornado 2.2 and obtaining a license. It also tells a system administrator how to set up a floating license server and how to manage the server. This information is also available as online help for SETUP.

For a floating license installation, license server software must be installed and running on a host on your network before Tornado can run. A system administrator should install the license server software on a host designated for that purpose, using the same SETUP program that installs Tornado. System administrators installing the floating license server should refer to 2.5.1 Installing and Configuring a License Server for step-by-step instructions.

If you are going to use a node-locked license, you will do the required configuration when you obtain the license as the final step of installation.

Installing Tornado 2.2 involves:

  1. Setting up your Windows PC with the correct patches.
  1. Locating the installation key. You will be installing from the Tornado core CD and from a BSP CD. Each has its own key.
  1. Selecting a user account to use for installation.
  1. Running the SETUP program. SETUP can be used to install either Tornado 2.2 or the floating license server. The program requires an installation key and some other information about your host.
  1. Configuring Tornado to obtain a license, which may include some manual steps after the SETUP program completes. An optional authorization code may also be required for some installations.


*      
NOTE: The installation instructions in this section also apply to any Tornado-compatible Wind River product that you have purchased separately. Optional products should be installed in the same directory tree as the version of Tornado for which they have been released.



2.2    Before You Start

If you are a system administrator installing license management on a server, go to 2.5.1 Installing and Configuring a License Server.

If you are installing Tornado 2.2 on your own machine, be sure you are installing on a supported host that meets minimum system requirements for both hardware and software, including patch levels. See the Tornado Release Notes for information about minimum system requirements and about using Tornado 2.2 in combination with other Wind River products.

Licensing

Tornado 2.2 and some optional components require a license. If you are installing on a host with access to the Internet, the setup and installation program configures the license for you, but before you start SETUP you should know:

  • Whether the software you are installing requires a license. (Tornado 2.2 requires a license; some optional components do not.)

  • If a license is required, what kind to use: floating or node-locked. (Refer to your purchase order.)

  • If you will use a floating license, whether a floating license server is installed on a host in your network.

  • If your system is running in 32-bit mode. (Tornado 2.2 runs only in 32-bit mode.)

If you do not know the answers to these questions, check with your system administrator.

Installing with Previous Versions of Tornado

If you plan to install Tornado 2.2 on a host that has another version of Tornado installed, see the Tornado Release Notes for information about correctly installing alongside your current version. You can never install a new Tornado in an existing Tornado tree.


*      
NOTE: If you plan to install Tornado 2.2 on a system that has the Beta version already installed, you must first uninstall the Beta version.

Windows Environment

TCP/IP Networking

Before you install Tornado 2.2 on a Windows host, make sure that TCP/IP networking is installed. Tornado 2.2 can operate over a raw serial connection between the host and target systems, and can operate on standalone systems that have no network connection with other hosts. However, the Tornado 2.2 tools use the TCP/IP protocol to communicate with one another, and you must therefore have TCP/IP on your host even if it is not on a networked system. The Windows TCP/IP package is generally installed with the operating system. (See Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network>Protocols.) Consult your Windows documentation for information on installing and configuring TCP/IP.

Long File Names

Before you install Tornado 2.2 on a Windows host, long file names must be enabled (the default setting).

Obtaining the Installation Keys

If you have purchased Tornado, your installation key is printed on the Installation Keys sheet in the Getting Started portfolio that includes the Tornado 2.2 CD-ROM and this guide.

If you cannot find the installation keys, contact Wind River by e-mail at . Please include your sales order number if you have purchased Tornado.

You can also call 1-800-USA-4-WRS (1-800-872-4977) if you are in North America and ask for Key Administration. In other locations, contact the nearest Wind River office.



2.3    Product Installation Procedure

2.3.1   Preliminary Installation Steps

On Windows systems you must use an account with administrator privileges when installing Tornado 2.2. The installation program makes some changes to the Windows system configuration that require administrator privileges.

Step 1:   Start the SETUP Program

Insert one of the Tornado 2.2 CD-ROMs in the drive. Install the Core CD first, followed by the BSP/driver CD. The SETUP program starts automatically the first time you run it. On subsequent occasions, you can start SETUP again on Windows by displaying the contents of the CD-ROM drive (using Windows Explorer or a comparable file manager) and double-clicking on SETUP.EXE, which is at the root of the CD-ROM file system.

The SETUP program has online help that provides detailed information about the installation and license configuration process. Click on the Help button to access help from any dialog where the button is enabled (starting with the User Registration page).

Each SETUP dialog box also has a Cancel button, which you can use to exit from the installation program. To continue to the next box, click the Next button. To return to the previous box to review or change information you have entered, click the Back button (which is grayed-out if it cannot be used).

When SETUP starts, the Welcome dialog box appears. To continue, click Next.

Step 2:   Review the Readme Information

The README.TXT window appears next. When you have finished reviewing the information contained in the window, click Next.

Step 3:   Review the License Agreement

Read the license agreement. If you agree with its conditions, click I Accept and Next to proceed with installation.

Step 4:   Enter User Information and Installation Key

In the User Registration dialog, enter the primary user name, your company name, and the installation key.


*      
NOTE: Enter the key exactly as it appears on the Installation Keys sheet. The key is case sensitive, and all characters must be entered, including non-alphanumeric characters.

If you have already installed other products from the same CD-ROM, you can select the installation key from the drop-down list. Otherwise, copy it from the Installation Keys sheet.


*      
NOTE: The two CD-ROMs associated with Tornado 2.2 require different keys. Both are on the Installation Keys sheet.

To continue, click Next.

Step 5:   Choose the Type of Installation

In the Installation Options dialog choose one of the following:

  • Full Installation. Choose this option to install a complete copy of Tornado 2.2 for an end user on the local host. Click Next to continue. (This is the option most users will use.)

  • Shortcuts Installation. Windows users can choose this option to configure the local host to use a copy of Tornado 2.2 that is installed on another host. Choosing this option does not install the program files on the local host. Click Next to continue, then proceed with Step 7 and Step 9.

  • License Management Server Installation. This option installs and configures a floating license server on the local host. The floating license server manages a pool of licenses for use by installations on other hosts in a network. System administrators installing a floating license server should select this option and click Next to continue. See 2.5.1 Installing and Configuring a License Server, then follow the steps listed there.


*      
NOTE: A license server must be installed and available on a network before Tornado 2.2 can be configured to use floating licenses. Before you install Tornado and attempt to configure it to use a floating license, you should ensure a license server has been installed.

To continue, click Next.

Step 6:   Enter the Project Information

The license number and number of seats is shown on the Tornado Installation Keys form that shipped with your product.

2.3.2   Installing Tornado

Step 7:   Specify the Installation Directory

Tornado 2.2 and its related products are designed to be installed in a single directory tree. Specify the drive and root directory for that tree in the Select Directory dialog box (for example, c:\Tornado2.2).


*      
WARNING: Do not install Tornado 2.2 in a directory whose path includes embedded spaces (for example, c:\Program Files\Tornado2.2). Installing in such a path causes make and other essential utilities to malfunction.


*      
WARNING: Do not install Tornado 2.2 in the same directory as any prior installation of Tornado, or in the same directory as versions of Tornado for other target operating systems (such as Tornado for I2O). Unpredictable behavior may result. For more information about installing Tornado 2.2 alongside existing installations of Tornado, refer to the Tornado Release Notes.

You can use the Browse button to display a file browser for locating and choosing the installation directory. If the directory you specify does not exist, you will be prompted to create it.

If you are installing only shortcuts to a remote server, be sure that the destination directory you specify is the one where a full installation was performed. Continue with Step 9.

To continue, click Next.

Step 8:   Review the Product List for Installation

All of the products you ordered are marked as selected in the Select Products dialog box by a check in the box to the left of the product name. Each item in the list represents a single product. To include or omit a product, click the checkbox next to the product name.

The line at the bottom indicates how many components comprise the selected product. If you highlight a product by clicking on it, the line at the bottom displays how many components within that product are selected. For example, in the Select Products dialog box, if Tornado Tools: x86win32 x ppc is highlighted, the dialog shows 4 out of 6 components are selected. To see a list of the individual components for a product, click the Details button. See Selecting Parts for more information.

A Tornado 2.2 installation requires the following minimum components:

  • Tornado tools for the host system

  • target processor and family

  • driver objects and headers for the selected target (These are on your second, BSP/driver CD-ROM.)

By default, these components are chosen for installation. This ensures that the necessary base product is installed, and that other products will install successfully later. This is especially important when:

  • Your installation key covers more than one product, or multiple run-time components such as TrueFFS or individual BSPs, and you choose to install them separately.

  • You have more than one installation key covering different products.

  • You have separate CD-ROMs containing add-on products.

Click Next to continue.

If there is not enough space for the selected products, SETUP warns you and gives you the option of going back to specify a directory on a larger disk or partition. You can also go back and omit some products. Click Go Back to return to the Select Directory dialog box, or No to continue. If you click No and continue, you will be prompted later to free up disk space.


*      
NOTE: Some components rely on other components. If you select one component without also selecting others it relies on, the SETUP program warns you and may require you to go back and change your selections before continuing to the next step.

Click Next to continue.

  • Selecting Parts

If a product has more than one part, clicking Details opens the Select Parts dialog, which displays all the parts in a list. You can modify the default selection of parts using this list. Check or uncheck the boxes to the left of the names.

This dialog also displays the approximate amount of disk space required for the selected parts.

Click OK to accept any changes you make to the list of parts, or Cancel to ignore any changes.

Step 9:   Select a Name for the Start Menu Program Folder

Select a Windows Start menu program-folder name for Tornado with the Select Folder dialog box. By default, a Tornado entry is created under Programs in the Start menu. To continue, click Next.

Step 10:   Set Up the Tornado Registry

The Tornado  registry is a service that keeps track of all available target servers. A target server is a service that runs on the host and manages communications between host tools, such as the shell, debugger, and browser, and the target system itself. A registry must be running before target servers can be started and before tools can communicate with a target.

In the Tornado Registry dialog box choose one of the following options:

Install Tornado Registry as an NT Service

Install Tornado Registry in the Startup Group

Install Tornado Registry manually


*      
NOTE: For advanced users: If you want this installation to use a Tornado 2.2 registry located on another machine, select Install Tornado Registry manually. Then, when you start Tornado, go to Tools>Options. Select the Target Manager pane and enter the machine name in the WIND_REGISTRY field.

Configure to Use a Remote Tornado Registry

Step 11:   Backward Compatibility

If you plan to use Tornado 1.0.1 and Tornado 2.2 tools in the same development environment, select yes in the Backward Compatibility dialog box. See the Tornado Release Notes for information about mixed-release development environments and portmapper usage.


*      
NOTE: If you chose to install the Tornado registry as a service in Step 10, you will be unable to use Tornado 1.0.1 tools with Tornado 2.2. You can use the Back button to return to the Tornado Registry dialog box, and change your selection.

Step 12:   Register File Types

SETUP can configure Windows to associate certain file extensions with Tornado 2.2 applications. This function of SETUP is only available if the Windows account you are using to install Tornado has system administrator privileges. In the Configure Default Application dialog, choose the file extensions you want to associate with Tornado as the default application. Click Next to continue.

Step 13:   SETUP Installs Files

SETUP begins to copy files from the CD-ROM. As installation progresses, the program displays information about the product as well as the names of the files being installed. The process may take several minutes.


*      
NOTE: If you have virus checking software running on Windows hosts, it may slow down the installation because it scans every file being copied. Temporarily disable virus checking functions to speed up the installation.

When SETUP has finished copying files, a dialog confirms installation of the products you selected for Tornado 2.2. You still need to install one or more BSPs from the second installation CD-ROM you received, but first, complete license manager installation. Click OK to close the dialog.

Next, SETUP configures Tornado 2.2 to reserve a license.

2.3.3   Obtaining a Tornado License

If the product you have installed (such as Tornado 2.2) requires a license, the SETUP program presents additional dialogs to select the type of license and to obtain one for use.

Step 14:   Choosing a Licensing Method

Tornado 2.2 obtains a license using one of two methods. In the License Management Configuration dialog, you choose the method for your installation to use. If you are unsure of which one to use, ask your system administrator or refer to your purchase order.

Configure a Floating License


*      
NOTE: A license server must be installed and available on your network before Tornado 2.2 can be configured to use floating licenses. Before you install Tornado 2.2 and attempt to configure it to use a floating license, you should first ensure that a license server has been installed. See 2.5.1 Installing and Configuring a License Server for more information.

Configure a Node-Locked License

Recapture license previously configured for this machine

Choose an option and click Next to continue

To proceed with the floating license option for typical end users, see Obtaining a Floating License.

To proceed with the node-locked licensing option, see Obtaining a Node-Locked License.

Obtaining a Floating License

This section describes the steps to configure Tornado 2.2 to obtain a floating license from a license server on your network. For instructions on obtaining a node-locked license, see Obtaining a Node-Locked License.


*      
NOTE: A license server must be installed and available on your network before Tornado 2.2 can be configured to use floating licenses. Before you install Tornado 2.2 and attempt to configure it to use a floating license, you should first ensure that a license server has been installed. See 2.5.1 Installing and Configuring a License Server for more information.

  1. Query the License Database

SETUP can automatically retrieve information from Wind River about the licenses you have purchased. In the Database Query Permission dialog, you give permission for SETUP to contact Wind River for this purpose. Your computer must have an active connection to the Internet to complete this step.

Yes, contact Wind River web site

No, do not contact the Wind River web site

  • Start SETUP with the -L option.
  • Start Tornado. When you run any Tornado 2.2 tool that is under license management, SETUP starts and steps you through obtaining a license.

Click Next to continue.


*      
NOTE: In the Finish dialog that appears when you choose not to contact the Wind River web site, SETUP displays information about manually configuring Tornado 2.2 to use a floating license. Make a note of the instructions, then click Exit to leave SETUP.

  1. Select License Server(s)

The User License Management Configuration dialog displays the license servers on your network, from which Tornado 2.2 can request a floating license.

Click one or more server names listed in Available Server(s). To add them to the list of Selected Server(s) click on the button. Click on the button to remove them. Use the Up and Down buttons to prioritize the selected servers. Tornado 2.2 sends its request for a license to the server at the top of the list first.

To see more information about an individual server and the licenses available on it, click to highlight the server; then click the Details button while the server name is highlighted.

No Servers Available
If no entries appear under Available Server(s), this means SETUP cannot locate any license servers. Possible reasons for this and their solutions are:

  • No license server is installed on an accessible host in your network; contact your system administrator to have one installed.

  • The license server is installed on an accessible host but is not active; contact your system administrator to activate it.

  • The host is not connected to the network; troubleshoot the connection. If the machine is normally not connected to the network (for example, a laptop), consider assigning a node-locked license. See Obtaining a Node-Locked License.

Click Next to continue.

  1. Confirm License Servers

In the License Management Registration dialog you can review your choice of license servers. Click Next to accept the choice, or Back to modify it. When you click Next, SETUP displays the Finish dialog.

SETUP updates the registry with the license information. There are no further steps to complete. Congratulations! You have configured Tornado 2.2 to obtain a floating license, and it is now ready to run.

Obtaining a Node-Locked License

A node-locked license is a license reserved exclusively for a single Tornado 2.2 installation. The license is contained in a file stored locally during setup and Tornado 2.2 uses it exclusively thereafter. This section describes the steps to follow to reserve a node-locked license and to obtain the license file.

Choose a Method for Requesting the License File

In the License Management Installation Options dialog, select a method for SETUP to contact Wind River and request the license file.

Automatic License Installation

Manual License Installation

If the host has no Internet access and cannot send e-mail, a final option for obtaining a license file is to visit the Wind River Web site using another computer that does have network access. Visit http://www.windriver.com/ali and follow the instructions there. Once you have the file, copy it to a diskette and transfer it to the install host, as described in 3.Install the WRSLicense.lic License File Manually.

Automatic License Installation

This section describes the steps to follow when requesting a node-locked license using the Automatic License Installation option.

  1. Query the License Database

In order to obtain the license file, SETUP automatically retrieves information from Wind River about the licenses you have purchased. In the Database Query Permission dialog, you give permission for SETUP to contact Wind River for this purpose. Your computer must have an active connection to the Internet to complete this step.

Use Disk Serial Number for host ID

Yes, contact Wind River web site


No, do not contact the Wind River Web Site

  1. Provide Contact Information/User Authorization

Choosing Yes from the dialog above opens the Contact Information/User Authorization dialog. Enter contact information for the person who coordinates license configuration and management at your site. SETUP includes this information in the request for a license file.

Authorization Code

Click Next to continue.

  1. Select Node-Locked Licenses to Configure or Reload

If you are requesting new licenses, the Node Locked License Configuration dialog displays the number of licenses still available out of the total purchased. Select the licenses you want to reserve by checking the boxes next to the product name. Each node-locked license you reserve in this dialog reduces the number of licenses available for other Tornado 2.2 installations.

If you are reloading a license that was previously assigned to this host, the Reload Existing License dialog appears instead. This dialog displays information about the license(s) to be restored. You can review this information but you cannot alter it.

When you have selected new licenses to reserve, or reviewed the licenses to be restored, click Next to continue and see 4.Review License Management Summary.

Manual License Installation

This section describes the steps to follow when requesting a node-locked license using one of the manual methods.

  1. Select Products to License

The Email License Configuration dialog or the Phone/Fax License Configuration dialog appears, depending on the manual method you have chosen. The following image shows the Phone/Fax dialog, but the contents of the two dialogs are the same for both methods. The dialog displays the products you have installed, and for which you can request a node-locked license. Select the licenses you want to reserve by checking the appropriate boxes next to the product names.

Click Next to continue.

  1. Request the License

Next, you must provide information gathered by SETUP to Wind River. After Wind River has the information, you will receive the license file through e-mail.

  • Request the License File by E-mail

To use this method, the host must have network access to a mail server.

  1. SETUP inserts all the necessary information into an e-mail message that you can preview in the Email License dialog. When you have viewed the message, click Next to continue.
  1. In the Mail Confirmation dialog, enter the e-mail address where you want the license file to be sent. Select a mail protocol and enter the name of the mail server to use.
  1. Click Send in the Mail Confirmation dialog. The request is sent from the current host to .
  1. See 3.Install the WRSLicense.lic License File Manually.

  • Request the License File by Phone

  1. SETUP copies all the necessary information into a file that you can preview in the Contact Wind River dialog and print for your reference.
  1. Call Wind River at the number listed on the dialog and give the information to the license representative.
  1. Click on Finish to exit the SETUP program.
  1. See 3.Install the WRSLicense.lic License File Manually.
  1. Install the WRSLicense.lic License File Manually

When you receive the license file WRSLicense.lic, do not alter its contents or change the file name. Copy it to the directory installDir\.wind\license, where installDir is the directory in which Tornado 2.2 is installed.

  1. Review License Management Summary

The Summary dialog shows the license(s) or server(s) you have configured for this installation. If the information is correct, click Next to accept the results. To go back and change the configuration, click on Back or Cancel.

One final step is necessary for certain installations. You need to set some host environment variables on UNIX hosts, and on Windows hosts if you have configured node-locked licensing and you received the license file WRSLicense.lic by e-mail.

In these cases, see page 4.Complete Installation to complete this step. Otherwise, you are done installing Tornado 2.2 and configuring a license for it.

For an introductory tutorial on Tornado 2.2 usage, see 3. Tornado Tutorial.

2.5    Administering License Management

2.5.1   Installing and Configuring a License Server

This section describes the steps for installing and configuring a license server using SETUP. If your site will use floating licenses, at least one license server must be in place before Tornado 2.2 floating seats and licensed optional products can be used. The license server manages a pool of floating licenses for use by Tornado 2.2 installations on other hosts on a shared network.

This section is relevant for system administrators who want to install the network license server, and not for typical end users of Tornado 2.2. It is not part of standard product installation, but must be completed before any licensed products can be used with floating licenses.


*      
NOTE: A license server must be installed and available on a network before Tornado 2.2 can be configured to use floating licenses. Before users install Tornado 2.2 and attempt to configure it to use a floating license, ensure that a license server is installed.

Step 1:   Run SETUP

The initial steps required for installing a license server are the same as 2.3 Product Installation Procedure. Follow Step 1 through Step 6 first. When the Installation Options dialog appears, select License Management Service Installation and click Next.


*      
NOTE: To install only license management daemons and utilities files, you can invoke SETUP with the -F or /F option. If you use -F or /F, SETUP takes you directly to Step 2.

Step 2:   Choose a Directory for License Management Utilities

SETUP asks you to confirm that this is the correct host on which to install the license manager software before proceeding. If it is not, exit the program now. Choose a local directory for the license management files. Click Next to continue.

If you wish to reinstall your existing license file without adding licenses or making any other changes, check the box.

Step 3:   Select Installation Method

The license manager requires a license file installed locally on the server machine. The file is generated upon request by Wind River. In the License Management Installation Options dialog, select a method for contacting Wind River to request the license file.

Automatic License Installation

Email option or the Phone or Fax option

If the host has no network access and cannot send e-mail, you can visit the Wind River Web site using another computer that does have network access. Visit http://www.windriver.com/ali and follow the instructions there. Once you have the file, copy it to a diskette and transfer it to the install host, as described in 3.Install the WRSLicense.lic File Manually.

Automatic License File Installation

This section describes the steps to follow when requesting a license file using the Automatic License Installation option.

  1. Query the License Database

SETUP can automatically retrieve information from Wind River about the licenses you have purchased. If your computer has an active connection to the Internet, you can give permission for SETUP to contact Wind River for this purpose.

Yes, contact Wind River web site

No, do not contact the Wind River Web Site

  1. Provide Contact Information/User Authorization

In the Contact Information/User Authorization dialog, enter contact information for the person who coordinates license configuration and management at your site. SETUP includes this information in the request for a license file.

Authorization Code

  1. Choose a License Server Port

The license server receives requests for floating licenses on a dedicated port. Use the License Server Port dialog to select the port the server will use. You can accept the default of 27000 or choose an unused one numbered 1024 or higher. Click Next to continue.

  1. Specify Floating Licenses to Manage

The Floating License Configuration dialog lists the products for which you have purchased licenses, the number of licenses, if any, that the current host is managing, and how many licenses are available to claim. Enter the number of licenses for each product that you want the server to manage in its pool of licenses.

If you are increasing the number of licenses for the server, then the numbers you enter will reserve additional licenses.

In either case, the number that remains for other servers to claim is reduced accordingly.


*      
WARNING: If you install more floating seats than appear on your purchase order, Wind River will contact you to reconcile the difference. Please review your purchase order before installing to be sure that you install only as many licenses as you have purchased or wish to purchase.

When you have made your selection, click Next to continue. The Summary: Floating License dialog shows the total number of licenses you have configured for the license server to manage. To accept the configuration, click OK. To go back and change the configuration, click Cancel.

  1. License Manager Startup Options

The License Management Startup Options dialog offers the following options.

Install License Manager locally as an NT Service
Select this option to have the license manager start on the local host at boot time.

Install License Manager in the Startup Group
Select this option to have the license manager start automatically on the local host when the current user logs on.

Select this option if you want to start the license manager manually using the Windows Start menu.

Click Next to continue.

Manual License File Installation

This section describes the steps to follow when requesting the license file using one of the manual methods.

  1. Select Products to License

The Email License Configuration dialog or the Phone/Fax License Configuration dialog appears, depending on the manual method you have chosen. The following image shows the e-mail dialog, but the contents of the dialogs are the same for both methods. The dialog displays the products for which you can request a license file. Indicate the number of licenses you want to reserve in the fields next to the product names.

  1. Manually Send the Request for a License File

To complete your request for the license file manually, you must provide the following information in your request. SETUP collects the information in an appropriate format for you to send to Wind River:

  1. host ID of the machine to be the license server
  1. host Name--the name of the license server host
  1. your customer license number
  1. number of licenses to be served for each licensed Wind River product (for example, five licenses for Tornado 2.2 and three for WindView).
  1. contact information (name, address, phone, e-mail address).


*      
NOTE: The host ID is a number that the license manager software uses to uniquely identify the host machine. SETUP determines this number for you automatically, but you can also find it manually by issuing the command lmutil lmhostid from a host command line in the installDir\SETUP\X86\WIN32\ directory.

  • Request the License File by E-mail

  1. All the necessary information is put in an e-mail message. You can preview the message in the Email License dialog. Click Next to continue.
  1. In the Mail Confirmation dialog enter the e-mail address where you want the license file to be sent. Select a mail protocol and the ID of the mail server used by the host.
  1. Click Send. The request is sent from the current host to , and an automated system receives it.

  • Request the License File by Phone

  1. All the necessary information is copied to a file which you can preview in the Contact Wind River dialog and print for your reference.
  1. When you call Wind River at the number listed on the dialog, have the information available to provide to the representative.
  1. Click on Finish to exit the SETUP program.
  1. Install the WRSLicense.lic File Manually

When you receive the license file WRSLicense.lic, do not alter its contents in any way or change the file name. Copy it to the directory installLic\.wind\license. The installLic directory is where license management software is installed.


*      
CAUTION: In most cases you should not alter the file contents or its filename. If you do wish to rename the license file, relocate the file to a path other than installLic\.wind\license, or combine the contents of the license file with other license files, please consult the user documentation from Globetrotter at http://www.globetrotter.com.

  1. Complete Installation

After running the SETUP installation program, you may need to set environment variables. You must set host environment variables if you installed Tornado 2.2 or the license server, but you received the license file WRSLicense.lic by e-mail and installed the file manually.

  • Windows 2000 Pro and XP Pro:

  1. Go to Control Panel>System.
  1. Click on the Advanced tab.
  1. Click on the Environment Variables button.
  1. Click on the New button under the System Variables section.
  1. In the Variable Name edit box, enter LM_LICENSE_FILE.
  1. In the Variable Value edit box, enter the full path location of the license file.

2.5.2   Managing Licenses

This section is intended for license administrators to get started using the license management software for Tornado 2.2.

Tornado 2.2 uses the FLEXlm license management system by Globetrotter Software. For detailed information about FLEXlm, including downloadable user documentation, visit http://www.globetrotter.com.

Summary of Floating License Management

The following is a summary of floating license management for Tornado 2.2:

  • The license manager software runs on one or more hosts designated as floating license servers on your shared network.

  • FLEXlm requires a license file installed on each server machine. This file is obtained from Wind River during installation of the license server.

  • When a Tornado 2.2 installation on your shared network needs a floating license to run, it requests the license from a floating license server.

  • The floating license server must be started in order to serve licenses to Tornado 2.2 installations.

Starting and Stopping the License Server

To make the floating licenses available to Tornado 2.2 installations on the shared network, the license manager must be started on the server.

On Windows hosts, you can use the license manager utility to start the license manager:

  1. In the Windows Explorer open the folder where you installed the license manager utilities.
  1. Double-click lmtools.exe and go to the Start/Stop/Reread tab.

You can also start the license server from a command line. Follow the steps below, substituting for installLic the directory where the license manager was installed.

  1. Change directory to the location where the license utilities are installed:
c:\> cd installLic\host\x86-win32\bin
  1. Issue the startup command:
c:\> lmgrd -z -c installLic\.wind\license\WRSLicense.lic -l installLic\.wind\license\lmgrd.log [-x lmdown]

To stop a license server that has been started manually using the above steps, do the following:

  1. Open the Windows Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC).
  1. Choose the Processes tab.
  1. Select the process named lmgrd.
  1. Click the End Process button.
