Siemens PLM Licensing User Guide

Siemens PLM Licensing User Guide Disclaimer
We are providing the Flexera License Administration Guide as it was distributed by Flexera Software
Incorporated. Information that is in the Siemens PLM Licensing User Guide supersedes any information in
the Flexera Guide. For example: we don’t use LM_LICENSE_FILE, as is indicated in the Flexera manual.
Fully supported options are discussed in this guide. These options have been tested by Siemens PLM
Software and will be supported. Options that are discussed in the Flexera License Administration Guide
and are NOT discussed in this guide are not supported. However, since Siemens PLM Software has done
nothing to disable these options they may work. Siemens PLM Software has not conducted any testing
within our software with these options and will not assist you with their usage.
Warning You should be completely familiar with the information provided in the Siemens PLM
Licensing User Guide prior to reading the information in Flexera’s License Administration
Guide.
Overview
FlexNet Publisher (FLEX) is a software licensing package that allows a software application to be licensed
on a concurrent usage basis, as well as on a per-computer basis. Siemens PLM Licensing is based on FLEX.
Siemens PLM License Server has its own installation. For details on installing and starting Siemens PLM
License Server, please refer to the installation guide.
Siemens PLM Licensing features include the following:
1. Operation in a heterogeneous network of supported computer systems.
2. Transparent reconnection of an application when its license server process becomes
unavailable, including conditions of license server node failure.
3. Ease of configuration with a single license file per network.
4. Configuration controls for system administrators.
5. Administration tools for system administrators.
6. Independent features definitions.
7. License management on single, redundant and multiple server configurations.
Fundamentals of Siemens PLM Licensing
Siemens PLM Licensing manages licenses in a network and implements the concept of the license server.
The license server processes a license request and responds to the client. If a license is available, it is
granted and the application is allowed to continue. If not, the application is notified of an error and the
application reacts accordingly.
5
What Defines Siemens PLM Licensing?

Siemens PLM Licensing can be organized into five major components:
1. License Manager Daemon (lmgrd)
2. Vendor Daemon (ugslmd)
3. License File (splm.lic)
4. Application Program
5. Server Setting
License Manager Daemon (lmgrd)

The license manager daemon (lmgrd) handles the initial contact with the application program, and then
passes the connection on to the vendor daemon. The license manager daemon also starts and restarts the
vendor daemon.
Vendor Daemon (ugslmd)
The vendor daemon (ugslmd) keeps track of how many licenses are checked out and who has them. If
ugslmd terminates for any reason, all users lose their licenses. Users normally regain their licenses
automatically when lmgrd restarts ugslmd.
License File (splm.lic)
The license file is a text file that stores the licensing data. The license file (splm.lic) must be accessible to
each machine designated as a license server. The license file contains all of the site-specific information
required by Siemens PLM Licensing. This includes:
1. Server Names
2. Host Identifiers
3. Vendor Daemon Name
4. PACKAGE Information (Optional)
5. INCREMENT / FEATURE Information
Note We recommend that the license file be placed on the license server node only.
Application Program
A software package that uses Siemens PLM Licensing for its license monitoring is usually run from the
client. The application program must be able to connect to the ugslmd daemon to be issued licenses.
Server Setting
The server setting must be set to run any Siemens PLM Licensing based application. The server setting
identifies the license server port (usually 28000) and hostname and is set initially by the installation
program when the application is installed. See the applications install guide for information on how to
change the server setting after installation.
6
The License Request Process

The following steps and figure describe how applications interact with the ugslmd daemon:
 The application program finds the license server after interpreting the information set in the
server setting.
 The application program establishes a connection with lmgrd to find the port on which the
vendor daemon resides.
 The lmgrd daemon determines which port corresponds to ugslmd and sends the information
back to the client.
 The client proceeds by establishing a connection with ugslmd and sends its request for a license.
 The ugslmd daemon checks in its memory to determine if any licenses are available and sends
either a grant or a denial back to the client.
 The ugslmd daemon records the grant or denial of the license request in the debug log file
ugslicensing.log.
 The license module in the client application grants or denies the use of the feature, as
appropriate.
7
License File Format

The license file is a text file consisting of lines of text that have identifiable names at the beginning of each
line (e.g. SERVER, VENDOR, etc.). License files usually begin with a SERVER line (or three lines for
redundant servers), followed by the VENDOR line and then one or more INCREMENT / FEATURE lines. In
some cases, your license file may contain PACKAGE lines. A back slash (\) is used to continue a line.
Sample License File

The following is a sample of a license file. In this particular example, note the single server configuration,
vendor daemon (ugslmd), four features, and one suite package. This license file allows the license server
serverA with the hostid of COMPOSITE=08002b42b116 to serve 56 floating licenses of the two features
(gateway & cam_base) and of the bundle (PACKAGE NX11110) to any user on the network.

SERVER Line
EXAMPLE:
The SERVER line specifies the node name and hostid of the license server and the port number of the
license manager daemon. Normally, a license file has one SERVER line. Three SERVER lines indicate that
you are using a redundant server configuration. No server line indicates you are using a Standalone Node-
Locked license file.
Note Do not delete SERVER lines from a license file because the hostids from the SERVER lines are
encrypted into the signature on every INCREMENT / FEATURE line.
VENDOR Line
EXAMPLE:
VENDOR ugslmd
The VENDOR line specifies the name of the vendor daemon supported by the license file.
PACKAGE Lines

9F7C 67AD 7BC9"
The purpose of a PACKAGE line is to support two different licensing needs:

1. License a product SUITE. Siemens PLM Software uses the suite package to enforce bundles in
some products.
2. Provide a more efficient way of distributing a license file that has a large number of features
that share the same INCREMENT / FEATURE line arguments.
9
The function of the PACKAGE line is to define a group of features that is specified in the component list.
The PACKAGE line in the license file, by itself, does not license anything -- it requires a matching
INCREMENT / FEATURE line to license the whole PACKAGE.
INCREMENT / FEATURE Lines

EXAMPLE:

The INCREMENT / FEATURE line describes the license to use the product.
The vendor daemon (ugslmd) processes only the first FEATURE line for a given feature.

vendor daemon The name of the Siemens PLM Software vendor daemon, ugslmd, that
serves this feature.
version The highest version of this feature that is supported by this license.
exp. date The expiration date. (If this field is set to "permanent", then the
license never expires.)
# of licenses The number of floating licenses for this feature.
HOSTID=hostid A host identifier supported by Siemens PLM Software. Used only if the
feature is to be bound to a particular host.
SUPERSEDE All licenses issued before the date specified in ISSUED= are
superseded by this line and become ineffective.
DUP_GROUP=UHD Allows a single user, host, and display combination to use only one
license seat.
user_info="<Optional Text>" Describes the licensed product in more detail.
ISSUED=dd-mmm-yyyy The date the product version was released.
BORROW=nnnn The maximum number of hours a feature can be borrowed.
ck=nnn A checksum value, useful with the "lmutil lmcksum" command, which
verifies that the license has been entered correctly.
SIGN=”nnnn … nnnn” A hexadecimal number that "authenticates" the readable license file
text, ensuring that the license text has not been modified.

Editable Parameters of the License File

Within the Siemens PLM Software license file, you have the option to modify three of the data items.
 hostnames on the SERVER line(s)
 port numbers on SERVER line(s)
 user_info on INCREMENT / FEATURE line(s)
Everything else is used to compute the license signature and must not be edited.
Note Do not change the user_info field for the feature “server_id”.
Note All data in the license file is case sensitive unless otherwise indicated.
Hostname
This is the hostname for the license server. The hostname is limited to 1024 characters. The string
returned by the UNIX "hostname" or, on some systems, "uname -n" command. On Windows use the value
returned from the Command Prompt "hostname" command. If you don’t supply the hostname to Siemens
PLM Software when requesting a license file, "YourHostnameX" or "this_host" is used in the license file as
a place holder for the actual hostname and should be replaced with the real hostname. The proper
hostname value is used on the client side for setting the server setting to port@hostname.
Port Number
This is the TCP port number used by the client application to communicate with the license server. A port
number is required if the license file is a 3-server redundant license file. The initial value is 28000 but can
be changed. The proper port number value is used on the client side for setting server value to
port@hostname. The port 28000 has been reserved through IANA by Siemens PLM Software for this
purpose and it is highly recommended that this port value be used to avoid a conflict with another
software product.
user_info
The user_info field in the activating INCREMENT / FEATURE line is used to display a descriptive name for
the bundle. You can delete or edit this field to provide a different name. Do not exceed 20 characters for
this field. Do not change this field for the "server_id" license module, as this value is your WebKey access
code.
Do not use special characters such as quotes within the user_info field since they may corrupt the license
file. License file lines are limited to 4096 characters with a ‘\’ as a continuation character. Do not put a
continuation character in the middle of a user_info field. Instead, move a line continuation character
before the user_info field and place the field on the next line.
11
Types of Individual Licenses

The license files created by Siemens PLM Software can specify any of the following license types:
Floating / Concurrent Anyone on the network can use the licensed module, up to the limit
specified in the license file.
Node-locked The licensed module can be used only on one node.
Mixed Mixes node-locked and floating licenses in the same license file.
Floating / Concurrent Licenses

A floating license means anyone on the network can use the licensed module, up to the number of
licenses specified in the license file. Floating licenses have no hostids designated on the INCREMENT /
FEATURE lines but always have a SERVER line in the license file.
Node-Locked Licenses
Node locking means the license module can be used only on one node. A node-locked license has a
"HOSTID=" set to the hostid it is locked to on its INCREMENT / FEATURE line.
Mixed Node-Locked and Floating Licenses

Node-locked and floating licenses mixed in the same license file are shown below.
EXAMPLE:

53E8 F2DF 009D 9F7C"
This allows for one use of drafting on nodes 12001234 and 1700ab12, but two licenses of drafting and
four licenses of gateway to be used anywhere else on the network. Nodes 12001234 and 1700ab12 can
also utilize the floating licenses.
12
Packages
Siemens PLM Licensing uses "packages" to group features. The license file contains a PACKAGE line for
each of these groupings. The COMPONENT field contains a list of all included features. An INCREMENT /
FEATURE line is required to activate a PACKAGE definition.
Siemens PLM Licensing recognizes two types of packages: non-suite packages and suite packages. Non-
suite packages are designed to simplify and shorten the license file. Suite packages are designed to tie
component features together to be checked out as a group. The presence of the OPTIONS field on the
PACKAGE line distinguishes the package types.
Non-suite packages do not use OPTIONS=SUITE in the PACKAGE definition line. The components of non-
suite package are independent of one another and act just like they would if they had their own separate
INCREMENT lines.
EXAMPLE:
PACKAGE ACME_GATE ugslmd 26.0 COMPONENTS="gateway \
solid_modeling features_modeling usr_defined_features \
free_form_modeling assemblies drafting iges dxf_to_ug \
ug_to_dxf sla_3d_systems" ck=183 SIGN="61ED 1ABE 8511 77CE \

INCREMENT ACME_GATE ugslmd 26.0 permanent 56 \

SUPERSEDE DUP_GROUP=UHD user_info="ACME Corp Bundle" \
ISSUED=30-Aug-2007 ck=179 SIGN="71ED 1ABE 8511 77CE \
53E8 F2DF 009D 9F7C"
Suite packages have the following differences from non-suite packages:

1. OPTIONS=SUITE is in the PACKAGE definition line.
2. Features in the COMPONENTS list can be prefixed with the package name and an underscore.
3. When the initial component feature is checked out, the suite package is checked out as well,
and a license for each of the other component features is reserved for that session of the
application.
Suite packages are key to the Suite Bundles implementation of Siemens PLM Licensing.
Siemens PLM Software Suite Bundles

Suite Bundles are suite packages that Siemens PLM Software has predefined to meet the general needs of
customers at a lower cost than purchasing individual floating licenses. The following example shows an NX
Mach 1 Designer Bundle.

ISSUED=23-aug-2007 ck=91 SIGN="91ED 1ABE 8511 77CE \
53E8 F2DF 009D 9F7C"
Setting Bundles
The setting of bundles is done on the client side and should be documented in the application licensing
specific documentation. If the application is shipped with the Siemens PLM Licensing Tool see the section
Optional Features for more information.
Automatic Bundle Consolidation

Automatic Bundle Consolidation is a Siemens PLM Licensing mechanism that is initiated when you check
out a licensed module from a bundle for the first time. The goal of this mechanism is to consolidate
licensed modules to a single bundle to maximize the number of licensed modules that are available for
use. The mechanism is always on and can’t be turned off.
While this mechanism will reduce crossover licensing, it will not eliminate it because some functionality
doesn't release its license until the new functionality's license has been checked out. In these situations,
returning to a state where only the base functionality is being used before entering a new application will
further reduce crossover licensing.
The following scenarios demonstrate how the Automatic Bundle Consolidation mechanism would work in
two situations, using NX as an example application.
Bundle Checkout Protocol – Scenario One
You start the NX Gateway module, but the bundle that you selected is not currently available. At that
time, Siemens PLM Licensing checks out a non-bundled license module from the license server to your
session. When a bundled version of the same module (Gateway) becomes available during the session
and you check out another licensed module within that bundle, Siemens PLM Licensing checks out the
bundled version of Gateway and checks in the non-bundled version, making it available for another user.
14
Bundle Checkout Protocol – Scenario Two

You start the NX Gateway module and it is available in the first bundle. Siemens PLM Licensing checks out
a bundled license module from the first bundle to your session. You then check out another NX module,
such as Solid Modeling, but it is only available in the second bundle. Again, Siemens PLM Licensing checks
out a bundled license module from the second bundle to your session. Rather than tie up two bundles,
Siemens PLM Licensing checks out the Gateway module from the second bundle and returns the initially
checked out Gateway module to the first bundle, making it available to another user. Siemens PLM
Licensing also changes the configuration settings of the current session to reflect a new primary bundle.
For example, if you had NX11101[;:]ADVDES set, your session would now run as if you had set it to
ADVDES[;:]NX11101. This does not change the persistent value set on the client system.
License Borrowing
With License Borrowing, you can check out a single seat (a set of license modules) from a site license
server and use those license modules offline.
License Borrowing has the following limitations:
 The duration of the borrowing is up to 120 days (2880 hours).
 The client platforms that are supported are Windows and Mac OS X. The license server can be
on any normally supported platform.
To activate borrowing, you must contact your sales representative and order borrowing. Once ordered,
you will be sent a new license file containing the BORROW keyword on all features that can be borrowed.
Borrowing Licenses
The borrowing of licenses is done on the client side and should be documented in the application licensing
specific documentation. If the application is shipped with the Siemens PLM Licensing Tool see the section
Optional Features for more information.
Checking borrowed licenses and expiration dates

On the client system determining what licenses are borrowed can be done with “lmutil lmborrow -status”.
Determining who borrowed a license

Develop a report of all active license users by using “lmutil lmstat -c port@hostname -A”. Inside the report
search for the keyword “linger” to see who is borrowing. From the output excerpt in the following
example it can be determined that nx_user1 on workstation nx_client1 has borrowed 1 gateway license
for 604740 seconds starting from September 1st at 13:33.
EXAMPLE:
...
Users of gateway: (Total of 1 license issued; Total of 1 license in use)
"gateway" v26.0, vendor: ugslmd
floating license
nx_user1 nx_client1 nx_client10.0 (v26.000) (license_server/28000 101),
start Wed 9/1 13:33 (linger: 604740)

License Configurations
Siemens PLM Licensing is designed to support the following license configurations:
 Single Server Configuration
 Standalone Node-Locked Configuration
 Redundant Server Configuration
 Multiple Server Configuration
Single Server Configuration

The single server configuration has one server that your clients communicate with for licenses. Clients A,
B, and C check out licenses from Server A. If Server A goes down, licenses are denied.
Benefits of a Single Server Configuration

 Single point of administration.
 Good for customers with small installations who want to focus their resources on a few key
servers.
 Best for installations that have single point(s) of failure in the network between the application
and license server.
Setup for Single Server Configuration
When asked for the license server by the installation software of a Siemens PLM Software application use
the port on the SERVER line (28000) and the hostname on the SERVER line (license_server) in the
following format:
28000@license_server
16
Standalone Node-Locked Configuration

The Standalone Node-Locked Configuration has no server. The client points directly to the license file. The
licenses in the license file are locked to Client A and are not available to any other client.
Benefits of a Standalone Node-Locked Configuration

 No need to maintain a server.
 Good for customers with small installations (less than 5) who want to focus on clients instead of
servers.
Setup for Standalone Node-Locked Configuration
When asked for the license server by the installation software of a Siemens PLM Software application, use
the path and file name of the license file you saved from Siemens PLM Software:
UNIX, Linux and Mac OS
/LicenseFiles/splm.lic
Windows:
C:\LicenseFiles/splm.lic
Redundant Server Configuration

Siemens PLM Licensing supports redundant license servers operating as a single logical license server.
Redundant servers help ensure the availability of your licenses in the event of a daemon crash until your
local system administrator is available.
This feature is controlled by the SERVER lines in the license file. To implement Server Redundancy, you
must identify and provide the hostids for three servers where copies of the license file will reside. Upon
receiving this data, Siemens PLM Software generates your license file with the corresponding three
SERVER lines.
17
You should verify that each license server has Siemens PLM Licensing installed on a local file system.
Proceed by starting each license server on each machine in the order they are listed in the license file,
starting with the server listed on the top line.
The redundant server configuration requires at least two of the three servers to be active for the licenses
to be available. No licenses are available until this quorum of two is met. A quorum of servers is defined
as a strict majority of servers listed in the license file, so the quorum in the three-server configuration is
two. If only one of the servers is available, the quorum is not satisfied and no licenses will be available.
One of the servers starts out as the master server and serves licenses. If the master goes down, another
server takes over as master. Once the issue that brought down the master server is resolved, you should
reset the license servers at your convenience. To reset the license servers, stop all three license servers
and then restart in the order they are listed in the license file, starting with the server listed on the top
line. See the sections on “Stopping the Siemens PLM Licensing License Server…” and “Starting the Siemens
PLM Licensing License Server…”, later in this guide, for instructions on resetting the license daemon.
Benefit of a Redundant Server Configuration

A redundant server configuration increases the probability that all licenses will be available (if all other
single points of failure have been removed).
18
Considerations
The following items should be considered relative to this specific type of server configuration:
 This configuration should be maintained by a full time system administrator.
 If one server goes down, the odds of a server failure become greater than that of a single server
system, since either of the other two servers failing will cause failure by not satisfying the
quorum.
 All three redundant servers must maintain communications with each other.
 The server settings on the client node should conform to the
port@hostname1,port@hostname2,port@hostname3 syntax.
Setup for a Redundant Server Configuration
The order in which the servers are listed is the order in which they are checked. If the first server is not
the master, the client will continue to search through the license servers until either a master server is
found or all three servers have been checked.
When asked for the license server by the installation software of a Siemens PLM Software application, use
the ports on the SERVER lines (28000, 28000 and 28000) and the hostnames on the SERVER lines (serverA,
serverB and serverC) in the following format:
28000@serverA,28000@serverB,28000@serverC
Effect on the License File
The license file will contain three SERVER lines for each of the license servers.
# Server line

Note The port number is required in the license file for redundant server configuration.
19
Multiple Server Configuration

The multiple server configuration is a way of combining server configuration types to create an overflow
mechanism. The other server configuration types are single and redundant. The multiple license server
configuration is set up by setting the license server value with more than one potential license server for
the application program.
Note This configuration is also referred to as a license list because of the manner in which it is set up.
Benefits of a Multiple Server Configuration

 No changes to your license files are necessary.
 Allows cross server licensing checkout.
 Allows license requests to overflow to other license servers in cases of occasional heavy use by
one group.
Considerations for Multiple Server Configuration
 The time for license activity can increase.
 Is controlled from the client side.
 When a server configuration is down you lose all the licenses that the server configuration had.
Setup for Multiple Server Configuration
The following examples illustrate how to set the server settings for a client node using the multiple server
configuration. The list of servers includes two single configurations using the port@hostname syntax. The
separator is the semicolon ";".
20
When asked for the license server by the installation software of a Siemens PLM Software application use
the ports on the SERVER lines of both license files (28000 and 28000) and the hostnames on the SERVER
lines of both license files (license_server1 and license_server2) in the following format:
28000@license_server1;28000@license_server2
The order in which the servers are listed is the order in which they are checked. The first server listed
should be your primary and closest server.
In this example the client would normally get all of its licenses from license_server1. In the event that
license_server1 did not have the license or went down, the license request would move to
license_server2. You would receive a license not available message only if the license was not available
on any of the two license server configurations.

License Administration on Windows
Siemens PLM Licensing supports the following types of hostids:
 Composite hostid (for license files only)
 Ethernet Address (for individual licenses)
 Hardware Key (for standalone node-locked licenses and individual licenses)
Siemens PLM Licensing has its own installation for more information please refer to the installation guide.
22
Hardware Key for hostids

A hardware key issued by Siemens PLM Software can act as your hostid, if requested or needed. By
connecting a hardware key to the parallel or USB port of a workstation, it can be accessed by the
application to define a unique hostid for a workstation. The hostid on the INCREMENT / FEATURE line in
your license file must match the number printed on the outside of the hardware key itself. There are two
hardware keys manufacturers that are supported WIBU and SafeNet. The driver for that specific
manufacturer must also be installed and started on the client machine.
If you have two or more hardware keys from a Siemens PLM Software distributor only one can be used on
a machine at a time. If you need to use both licenses on the same machine you need to request that one
of the features be locked to the other hardware key or unlocked. You should also return the unused
hardware key.
Installing the Sentinel Hardware Key

To install the hardware key, perform the following steps:
1. Install the latest Sentinel Driver from the application media or from the SafeNet-Inc website.
2. Verify the installation of this device driver by checking Control PanelUninstall a program then
look for Sentinel System Driver.
3. Plug the hardware key into the parallel or USB port of the Windows workstation. When using
the parallel port lightly tighten the screws to ensure the key cannot be accidentally
disconnected.
Installing the WIBU Hardware Key

To install the hardware key, perform the following steps:
1. Install the latest WibuKey Runtime from the WIBU website ( www.wibu.com ).
2. Verify the installation of this device driver by checking Control PanelUninstall a program then
look for WibuKey Setup (WibuKey Remove).
3. Plug the hardware key into the parallel or USB port of the Windows workstation. When using
the parallel port lightly tighten the screws to ensure the key cannot be accidentally
disconnected.
Replacing the License File

To replace the Siemens PLM Licensing license file, run the licensing installer, for the currently installed
version, and select the option Replace License File.
The installer puts the old license file inside the license_backup folder.
Note If the license file is for a new version of the application program you should install the new license
server software.
23

License Administration on UNIX



/usr/Siemens/PLMLicenseServer/splmld_cntl stop

/usr/Siemens/PLMLicenseServer/splmld_cntl start
Note On SUN UNIX you may run into a problem with the lmgrd and ugslmd daemons not releasing their
port when running splmld_cntl start immediately after splmld_cntl stop. This is caused by the
system configuration variable "tcp_time_wait_interval" having a default value of 240000
milliseconds which is too high. Flexera recommends a value of 2000 milliseconds.

Composite Hostid (CID)

The composite hostid is a unique machine identifier that is used as the hostid on the SERVER line of the
license file. It is distinguished from the default FLEX hostid by the key word “COMPOSITE=”. It is the only
hostid supported for locking a permanent license file to a server. When the CID is used as the license
server hostid, the SERVER line will appear as follows.
EXAMPLE:
SERVER serverA COMPOSITE=37B5ED1AC61D 28000
To obtain the CID, you will have to run a Siemens PLM Licensing utility called “getcid”. This utility is
provided in the license server media kit or can be downloaded via the Customer Support (GTAC) website
http://support.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/gtac.shtml. The utility must be executed on
the target license server or on all three servers in a redundant configuration. The output is a list of 12 digit
hexadecimal number that is the CID for that system. If a server has multiple physical addresses, multiple
CIDs will be displayed.
EXAMPLE :
C:\getcid.exe
Multiple composite hostids (CIDs) indicate you have multiple network
adapters. You should select the first CID or the most appropriate CID based
on the network adapter which is currently active. The Siemens PLM Software
licensing CIDs are:
COMPOSITE=6D48ECD8CF4D - Intel(R) 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection

(MAC : B8AC6F89FC76)
COMPOSITE=0D753E33FO9D - Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card
(MAC : B8AC6F67GC76)
COMPOSITE=6D48ECD8CF4D - Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller
Press the ENTER key to continue...

26
On Windows, Linux and MacOS server the output is the CID for that system along with the information of
the network adapter it is associated with. By default the utility filters out any virtual network adapters or
other devices like Bluetooth and InfraRed. In case if CIDs for all the available network adapters on the
server are required, then the utility may be executed with -all flag.
The concept of multiple CIDs was introduced to allow the flexibility to use a CID associated with any
physical address. Previously, you were limited to just the CID associated with the device at the top of the
network binding. If you see multiple CIDs, select the first one in the list. If the selected CID changes or
disappears for any reason, use the next CID in the list.
When needing to get a CID with a script the “Press the ENTER key to continue...” can be a problem.
To turn off the pause use the flag -nopause.
EXAMPLE :
C:\getcid.exe -nopause
Multiple composite hostids (CIDs) indicate you have multiple network
adapters. You should select the first CID or the most appropriate CID based
on the network adapter which is currently active. The Siemens PLM Software
licensing CIDs are:
COMPOSITE=6D48ECD8CF4D - Intel(R) 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection

COMPOSITE=0D753E33FO9D - Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card
(MAC : B8AC6F67GC76)
COMPOSITE=6D48ECD8CF4D - Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller
Once the CID information is obtained for a license server, this information must be entered into your
customer record to generate a permanent license file. The CID can be entered using your WebKey account
or by calling your customer service representative (CSR). After the CID has been entered into your
customer record you will be sent a permanent license file for you to install on your license server.
Cloud Hostid
The cloud hostid is a unique identifier for machines running on a cloud environment which can be used
reliably for licensing. Siemens PLM Software supports two major cloud computing service providers:
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Cloud hostids are identified by the keywords
“AMZN_ID=” and “AZRE_ID=” on AWS and Azure platforms respectively. On AWS, the hostid is the
machine’s instance id and on Azure it is the system’s UUID.
EXAMPLE:
SERVER AWSserver AMZN_ID=i-02aadbdb 28000
SERVER AzureServer AZRE_ID=E557FC43-5083-455A-A274-7489F5360F11 28000

27
To obtain the cloud hostid, run the same “getcid” utility as mentioned above in the Composite Hostid
section. The utility is executed with -cloud flag to get the cloud identifier. It will automatically detect the
underlying cloud computing platform and generate the hostid.
EXAMPLE:
C:\getcid.exe -cloud
The Siemens PLM Software licensing cloud hostid for this host "AWSserver" is:
AMZN_ID=i-02a2dbdb - (Amazon Web Services)
Press the ENTER key to continue...
Licensing Terms
The following software licensing terms are used to describe Siemens PLM Licensing.
Bundle Consolidation The act of taking checked out license modules consisting of bundled and
floating features and replacing their licensing check outs with licensing
check outs from one single bundle.
CID Acronym for Composite Hostid
Client Any node on the network that requests a license from the license server.
Composite Hostid A 12 digit hexadecimal unique machine identifier distinguished from a
FlexNet hostid by the key word “COMPOSITE=”. It is used to lock a license
file to a machine.
Concurrent Licensing A software license that specifies a maximum number of users who can
use the software at the same time. Pricing is usually by seat or user. As
software is used, a license is verified and checked out through Siemens
PLM Licensing. When the user is finished with the software, the license is
checked in for use by another user.
Feature FEATURE represents any functionality that needs to be licensed.
FLEX FlexNet Publisher
Floating Feature Feature that is defined on an INCREMENT / FEATURE line or within a non-
suite package.
Hostid Used to uniquely identify a specific machine, if the license or license file is
to be bound to a particular host.
Increment An INCREMENT line can be used in place of a FEATURE line. It can also be
used to incrementally add licenses to a previous FEATURE or INCREMENT
line in the license file.
License The right to use a specific version of a software module. The license
specifies what version of the software can be used and how many users
can use that software. A license can also have a time period associated
with it.
28
License File A text file that stores the licensing data. This file contains information
about the server nodes and vendor daemons and at least one line of data
for each licensed product.
License Key A 12 character hexadecimal number that authenticates the readable
license file text, ensuring that the license text has not been modified.
License Server The node on a network where license requests are processed.
lmgrd The main license daemon that sends client application requests to the
correct vendor daemon.
Multiple Servers A way of listing more than one potential license server for the client
application program as defined by the server setting on the client side.
Package An efficient method of distributing a license file containing many features
that share the same FEATURE line arguments.
Redundant Servers A set of three redundant license servers that requires two of the three
license servers to be up and running in order to serve licenses.
Server ID The unique identifier of your license file configuration.
Server Node A computer system that is running the license server software. The server
node contains all the site-specific information on feature usage.
Siemens PLM Licensing The licensing toolkit and license daemon that some Siemens PLM
Products are using to provide consistent licensing functionality and
enabling the shipment of combined license files to customer using
multiple licensing products.
splm_ugslmd.log The debug log file for Siemens PLM Licensing. The splm_licensing.log file
contains the output from "lmgrd" and "ugslmd" and is used as a
debugging aid.
ugslmd The vendor daemon that Siemens PLM Licensing uses to dispense licenses
for the requested features.
Windows Supported Microsoft Windows Platform.
Optional Features
Siemens PLM Licensing Tool
The Licensing Tool is not provided with all Siemens PLM Software applications and therefore this
information may not be applicable to all Siemens PLM Software applications. There are two flavors of the
tool:
 GUI – Graphical User Interface, available on:
a) Windows 32/64bit
b) Macintosh OS X 64bit
c) Linux: Red Hat 64bit and SUSE 64bit
 CLI – Command Line Interface, available on all platforms supported by Siemens PLM Licensing.
29
The Graphical User Interface

Bundle Settings
If an application adopts bundles, you can perform bundle selections using Licensing Tool.
To access a Suite Bundle it is necessary to select the bundle before launching the application. Some
applications will allow the selection at the start of the session but this may be required every time the
application is launched. The Licensing Tool allows you to set the bundle in a persistent location.
The order in which the bundle names are listed is the order that the application will attempt to check out
any feature. The maximum number of bundles that you can select is two.
30
Borrowing Settings
The ability to borrow requires an extra feature to be added to your license file. Contact your Siemens PLM
representative for more information about purchasing the ability to borrow.
Note: The "License" value listed in the tool is the user_info field value on each license
module’s INCREMENT / FEATURE lines in the license file. These values correspond to the
short descriptions in the price book for each product. If two different products with
similar license modules end up on the same license file each license module that is
similar is combined into one INCREMENT / FEATURE line. The user_info field is
combined in the following format "Common to Adv Designer Plus and NX M-1 Dsgn
(FL)". Therefore if you are borrowing "Adv Designer Plus" you should also borrow all
the "Common to..." that contain it in order to get its full functionality.
31
Environment Settings
The tab displays various client and server environment settings, such as host name, license server,
Composite Host ID, toolkit version, etc.
If an application enables the changing of the current license server, you can update the license server via
the Edit option from the License Server panel:
32
The Command Line Interface

The command line interface flavor of the tool is called lictool. It provides similar functionalities to the GUI
tool. The following table describes its usage:
Flag Description Example
Display help information lictool --help
--help
Display lists of selected and lictool --getbundle
