How can I get FlexNet hostid and LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM

I installed the PGI workdstation following the INSTALL.TXT instruction. But

  1. how can I get FlexNet hostid, I Google it and someone say it is just HWaddr, and my HWaddr is"18:03:73:C3:F1:05", so I generate a trial key with it. The key is as follow

SERVER ANY ANY
PACKAGE PGI2011-trial pgroupd 2012.0327 C926A26B303B
COMPONENTS="pgi-hpf-lin64 pgi-f95-lin64 pgi-f77-lin64
pgi-cc-lin64 pgi-cpp-lin64 pgi-hpf-lin32 pgi-f95-lin32
pgi-f77-lin32 pgi-cc-lin32 pgi-cpp-lin32 pgi-f95-win64 \

  1. the hostname and hostid are both ANY, is it right? or should I change it by hand accroding to my computer.

  2. when I compiler the FORTRAN code, I meet the problem “pgi-f95-lin64: LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM: Failed to checkout license”. But when I execute the command “pdf90 -V”, it shows

pgf90 12.2-0 64-bit target on x86-64 Linux -tp sandybridge

I have start the "lmgrd.rc star"t and set the envionment as the instruction.

Hi nadia1989,

Note that the PGI Install Guide can give you more details on setting up your license server.

  1. how can I get FlexNet hostid,

Use the command “lmutil lmhostid”.

  1. the hostname and hostid are both ANY, is it right?

This is correct for a trial license.

I have start the "lmgrd.rc star"t and set the envionment as the instruction.

My guess is that the license manager failed to start. Try running it from the command line, i.e. “lmgrd” and see if there are any errors.
