 The license server used by IDL is [http://www.ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=1675 FLEXlm].  Instructions for installing this are available [http://www.rsinc.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=3917&nl=r here].

+IDL 6.3 Web Download and Install Instructions: FlexLM License Server
+
+These instructions describe the process of downloading and installing the FlexLM license server for IDL 6.3 on your UNIX system.
+Before you begin:
+
+    * The FlexLM license server requires approximately 8 MB of disk space.
+    * Be sure you have root (or similar) permissions before installing.
+
+Installing the FlexLM License Server
+
+To download and install the FlexLM license server:
+
+   1. Choose a place to install the license server on your system. On your local system, change to the directory you select. (In the instructions that follow, we will refer to this directory as FLEXLM_DIR.) The default location is is /usr/local/rsi. If FLEXLM_DIR does not already exist, be sure you have root (or similar) permissions, and issue the following commands to create and give access to the FLEXLM_DIR:
+
+      % mkdir FLEXLM_DIR  
+      % chmod a+rx FLEXLM_DIR  
+
+   2. Select the appropriate download link for your UNIX platform. Click on the link to download the FlexLM license server. The license server installation file is a compressed archive; save it in FLEXLM_DIR.
+   3. Change directories to FLEXLM_DIR.
+   4. Unpack the archive. First uncompress the file by entering:
+
+      % gunzip flexlm_<platform>.tar.gz  
+
+      then untar the file:
+
+       
+
+      % tar xf flexlm_<platform>.tar  
+
+       
+
+      where <platform> is the platform name for your platform.
+
+       
+
+      Note
+      There is no installation program included with the FlexLM installation tar files. The above commands are all that is necessary to unpack the license server files.
+
+Warning
+
+If you install the license server files in a directory other than /usr/local/rsi, you will need to manually modify the appropriate license_setup file in the bin subdirectory of the directory in which the license server was installed to reflect the path to the license server installation. You should modify:
+
+    * FLEXLM_DIR/bin/license_setup if you use a C shell.
+    * FLEXLM_DIR/bin/license_setup.bash if you use a bash shell.
+    * FLEXLM_DIR/bin/license_setup.ksh if you use a korn shell.
+
+You do not need to make any modifications if FLEXLM_DIR is /usr/local/rsi.

+  IDL 6.3 (April 20, 2006)
