Installing the license file on Unix

Once you receive your license.dat file containing your keycodes, install it as a file on disk.  If you do not have a license file, or are having trouble selecting a suitable license manager machine, see the Related Topics below.

ArcGIS uses the FLEXlm® v7.0d license manager. If you intend to use ArcGIS 8.1 and 7.x concurrently, you must run the license manager distributed with ArcGIS 8.x.

ArcGIS licenses can be served from either a Windows or Unix license manager. For example, a Windows installation of ArcGIS 8.1 can obtain a license from either a Windows or Unix 8.x license manager.

Installing a license file

1. Save the license file to disk as license.dat.

2. Copy it into the appropriate /sysgen directory.

$ARCHOME/sysgen or $SDEHOME/sysgen
