Hi,
I have obtained a trial license for NVIDIA AI Enterprise, configured the cloud license server, and downloaded the token.
I have installed the nvidia-vgpu-ubuntu-aie-580_580.82.02_amd64.deb driver on the Linux host.
Then, I am following the client licensing guide to configure the license on the host machine. I have noticed that there is no /etc/nvidia folder. However, I have created it, created /etc/nvidia/gridd.conf and copied the token to /etc/nvidia/ClientConfigToken folder with proper permissions. I do not have nvidia-gridd service, so I restarted the nvidia-vgpu-mgr.service service.
License information is not populated. How to configure the license for vGPU on the host machine?
