The software licensing used by DMF is based on the FLEXlm product from GLOBEtrotter Software, Inc. A FLEXlm license is required to use DMF.

For more information on FLEXlm, you may order the Flexible License Manager End User Manual from GLOBEtrotter Software, Inc., or from the SGI Distribution Center in Minnesota.

The DMF license is issued to a specific host ID. You will be asked to provide the license manager host ID when you obtain your permanent license. To obtain the number, launch the dmmaint utility and select the License Info button. A window displays the host name and the FLEXlm host ID. When you are asked for the license manager host ID, provide this FLEXlm host ID.

You must have a separate license for each host machine on which DMF is installed.

When you download or order DMF, you will receive a temporary license and an entitlement number from the SGI Distribution Center in Minnesota; you must get a permanent DMF license and restart DMF once you have that license.

Install the DMF software. Steps to take for the temporary license are described in Procedure 6-1.

Along with your entitlement number, you will receive a URL to a key generation page. To obtain your permanent license, follow the instructions on the key generation page. After you have provided the required information, a key will be sent to you through electronic mail.

If for some reason you cannot use the World Wide Web key generation page, you can telephone or email the SGI Distribution Center in Minnesota and a key will be sent to you.

Customers can contact the order desk at the SGI Distribution Center in Minnesota by telephone (+1 651 683 5907 or 1 800 284 2729 extension 35907), through electronic mail (orderdsk@sgi.com), or by fax (+1 651 452 0141).
