Solaris 2.3 Compiler licenses/license manager
Host configured with Flexlm license manager and one license for
SPARCompiler C 2.0.1. When we installed SPARCompiler C 3.0.1,
running lmstat on the combined license file indicates that we
have a total of two C licenses available as expected. However,
'cc' indicates that only one of the licenses seems to be available.
Solution:
I had assumed that 'cc' would run both 2.0.1 and 3.0.1, dependent
upon which one was available/not in use. However, it turns out that
the SPARCompiler C 3.0.1 installation creates a new cc-3.0.1 binary
in /opt/SUNWspro/bin. Running the 'cc' binary ties up the 2.0.1
license. The license manager DOES distinguish between 2.0.1 licenses
and 3.0.1 licenses. To use the 3.0.1 license, you need to explicitly
call the cc-3.0.1 binary.
One reply suggested upgrading the 2.0.1 license to 3.0.1 which is
apparently done free of charge under the maintenance agreement. This
sounds like the best solution as it does away with the two separate
versions, meaning that ALL users can use 'cc'.
