Uma solução para a limitação do uso de licenças flutuantes baseada na configuração da plataforma computacional LSF.

Abstract

This report firstly describes the use of the software FlexLM for license management as well as it presents a license classification based on two different criteria: FlexLM criteria and Cost Calculation criteria. By knowing that most of the licenses used by Infineon Design Community are floating licenses, which are paid based on their use, the goal of this work is to propose and put in place a system based on LSF configuration setup to limit the use of such kind of licenses. This will be done at a local approach in a way the license managers placed at Sophia Antipolis will have full control on the limits imposed by the system. A set of tests will be planed and done in order to validate the system before it can be put in place definitely. By the end of the report we will present a Graphic Interface, written using Perl [2] scripting, which has been developed to allow the license managers checking the license status at real time.
