Using the C Shell
To start the license manager daemon (lmgrd), enter the following command at the prompt,
./lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log & |
where license_file_path is the full path and filename of the network license file (by default, $HOME/MapleNetworkTools/activate/MathSurvivalKit2024.lic) and debug_log is the name of a file to which debugging information is written. The -l option (letter l, not the number 1 (one)) creates the file.
Using the Korn or Bourne Shell
To start the license manager daemon (lmgrd), enter the following command at the prompt:
nohup lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log 2>&1 & |
Run Daemons on Startup
To have the daemons run on startup, edit the appropriate boot script (such as /etc/rc.boot, /etc/rc.local, or /etc/rc2.d/Sxxxx). For example, if you run lmgrd as a boot startup script, you can run it as a regular user by using the following su command at the prompt:
su username -c \'umask 022; lmgrd_path -c license_file_path -l log_path\' |
where username is a non-privileged user; lmgrd_path is the correct path to the lmgrd file, license_file_path is the full path of the network license file (by default, $HOME/MapleNetworkTools/activate/MathSurvivalKit2024.lic), and log_path is the debug log file path. It is recommended that the network license file be called MathSurvivalKit2024.lic.

Named Network Users run Mathematics Survival Kit - Maple Edition on their own client machines. These client machines are connected to the license server over the network. The Network Named User licensing option allows system administrators to strictly enforce which users, or client machines, may run Mathematics Survival Kit - Maple Edition.
When you install Maple Network Tools, an options file (.opt) is automatically created in the $Maple Network Tools/activate directory.
Note: By default, the vendor daemon looks for the options file (maplelmg.opt) in the same directory that contains the license file used by the license server manager.
To set up Named Network User licensing, perform the following steps:
To manually edit the options file, perform the following steps:
INCLUDE {MAPLEPRODUCT} USER User1
INCLUDE {MAPLEPRODUCT} USER User2

If you wish to modify a solution, you must first execute the commands in the Initializations section, so that any necessary procedure and variable definitions are done. Next, scroll directly to the solution you are interested in, without executing any other commands. Variable names may be re-used between solutions, so executing commands from one solution could adversely affect the proper functioning of a second. To modify a second solution, first re-execute the Initializations section.
