I downloaded the workstation version of accelerator PGI compiler 15.9. And I generated a permanent license with the hostname (ip address of my server) and the hostid as required. It look like this:

However, when I try to use the gcc compiler, it alerts that license failed to check out. The error looks as follows:
pgc++ -O3 -ta=tesla:cc35 -c laplacian_acc.cpp -o LP_ACC.o
pgc++: LICENSE MANAGER PROBLEM: Failed to checkout license

The license server manager (lmgrd) has not been started yet,
the wrong port@host or license file is being used, or the
port or hostname in the license file has been changed.

make: *** [LP_ACC.o] 2.
Therefore, I try to start the license server manager manually by using the command lmgrd. This time, it tells me that :

19:08:39 (lmgrd) “August”: Not a valid server hostname, exiting.
19:08:39 (lmgrd) Valid license server system hosts are: “10.3.2.179”
19:08:39 (lmgrd) Using license file “/opt/pgi/license.dat”
You see, August is the name of my server, but not publicly recognized. And I did used the ip address to generate the license file, what is the problem? This server cannot have access to internet though (it is in intranet). How can I generate a usable license?
