|
|
◦
|
FIREWALL controls whether to add an exception to the Windows firewall to allow STAR-CCM+ to run. The Windows firewall may attempt to block socket communication. By default, a rule is added by the installer to permit this communication. If you do not want this to happen, set this argument to false. Note that you must manually add exceptions to third-party firewall software.

DESKTOPICONS controls whether to create desktop icons for the installed components. By default, the installer creates desktop icons. If you do not want the desktop icons, set this argument to false.
|
|
◦
|
NOADMIN allows the installation and execution of STAR-CCM+ without administrator privileges. You must choose an installation location that is not protected by administrator privileges. If you set this argument to true, additional directories are created in the STAR-CCM+ server directory which contain all required Microsoft run-times.

In parallel, the master process requires a ccmpsuite to launch and run. Additional processes created by the controller require an hpcdomains, a ccmpsuite, or a DOEtoken license to start and continue solving. As an example, a two-worker parallel job on a dual CPU machine would require one ccmpsuite license and one hpcdomains license.
|
|
|
If the Power Session license option is chosen, the ccmppower license is used regardless of whether the session is serial or parallel, and without any limit to the number of worker processes that can be launched.
|
|
|
If the Lite Session license option is chosen, the ccmplite license is used if it is available; otherwise the ccmpsuite license is used.
|
|
|
For battery modeling, STAR-CCM+ requires a batterysim license in addition to the other license features. Battery Design Studio®, which is supplied for use with the STAR-CCM+ battery modeling capability, requires either a batterysim or a batterydesignstudio license.
|
|
|
|
|
For importing geometry into STAR-CCM+, you require a JTOpen license for .jt geometries, or a cadexchange license for all other supported CAD formats.
|
|
|
STARLICENSELOG When the license routines run, they will write to the file that this is pointing to as well as to standard out. This can be useful if license messages do not appear. This has to be set to the file.
|
|
|
STARLICENSEVERBOSE Causes more verbose messages to be displayed to both the screen and log file.
|
|
|
STARNOFLEXLMRC FlexNet will not write to the ~/.flexlmrc file (Linux) or the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager registry key (Windows).
|
|
|
STARNOTIMEOUT FlexNet normally times out after two hours of inactivity. This means that if a machine crashes with a license checked out, the license will return to the server after this time. In cases where no activity for two hours is normal (a queuing system that suspends a job during the day) then this will release the license and the job may fail to get the license when it progresses (another user may have the license). If this variable is set, FlexNet will never time-out and so will avoid this. However, be aware that this may cause licenses, which would otherwise be returned, to remain checked out. Use lmremove to deal with checked out licenses that have not been returned as expected.
|
|
|
STARWAIT Normally, FlexNet will return if a license is unavailable and the code will exit. If STARWAIT is set, then FlexNet will wait until a license becomes available. This may be of use in queue or batch systems.

|
The application establishes a connection with the license server manager (lmadmin) and tells it that it needs to talk to cdlmd.
|
|
3.
|
lmadmin determines which machine and the TCP/IP port correspond to cdlmd and sends that information back to the CD-adapco application.
|
|
4.
|
The CD-adapco application establishes a connection with cdlmd and sends its request for a license.

cdlmd checks in its memory to see if any licenses are available and sends a grant or denial back to the application.

When one machine is down, the pool of licenses is reduced. So if each machine has 10 copies of ccmpsuite, when London is down, there are only 20 copies of ccmpsuite to share between three sites instead of 30.

|
host is the system host name or IP address. On Linux, this is the name returned by the hostname or uname -n command. On Windows, ipconfig /all.
|
|
|
hostid is usually the string returned by the lmhostid command. This is set by CD-adapco.
|
|
|
port is the TCP/IP port number to use. A valid number is any unused port number between 0 and 64000. On Linux, choose a port number greater than 1024, since those less than 1024 are privileged port numbers. If no TCP/IP port number is specified, one of the default ports in the range of 27000 and 27009 is used. Flexera recommends using port numbers outside the range of 27000 through 27009.
|
|
|
vendor Name of the vendor daemon used to serve some feature(s) in the file. This name cannot be changed by the administrator.
|
|
|
vendor_daemon_path is an optional path to the executable for this daemon. Generally the license administrator is free to install the daemon in any directory. (It is recommended, however, that it be installed in a local directory on the license server machine.) If omitted, lmadmin looks for the vendor daemon binary in:
|
|
◦
|
The path specified in lmadmin’s $PATH environment variable
|
|
◦
|
in the directory where lmadmin is located
|
|
|
If vendor_daemon_path is blank, then any options or TCP/IP port number specifications require the OPTIONS= and PORT= strings.
|
|
|
options_file_path is the full path to the end-user options file for this daemon. FLEXnet does not require an options file. If omitted, the CD-adapco daemon looks for a file called cdlmd.opt that is located in the same directory as the license file.
|
|
|
port is the vendor daemon TCP/IP port number. The default, if the port number is not specified, it is chosen by the operating system at run-time. Sites with Internet firewalls need to specify the TCP/IP port number the daemon uses. If a TCP/IP port number is specified on the VENDOR line, there may be a delay when restarting the vendor daemon.
|

|
feature Name given to the feature by the vendor.

vendor Name of the vendor daemon; also found in the VENDOR line. The specified daemon serves this feature.

feat_version Version of this feature that is supported by this license.

exp_date Expiration date of license in the format dd-mmm-yyyy, e.g., 07-may-2005. If exp_date is the string permanent or the year is 0 (or 00, 000, 0000) then the license never expires.
