Download the UNIX/LINUX FLEXlm installer for your PLATFORM from the Solutions Download Center (SDC) under the MSC Licensing FLEXlm.

You will have one of these files:

msc_licensing_11.6_hpipf.bin
msc_licensing_11.6_hpux.bin
msc_licensing_11.6_hpux64.bin
msc_licensing_11.6_linux.bin
msc_licensing_11.6_solaris.bin
msc_licensing_11.6_solaris64.bin
msc_licensing_11.6_aix.bin
msc_licensing_11.6_windows3264.exe

For this case, we will be demonstrating the SOLARIS64 installation (msc_licensing_11.6_solaris64.bin).

Run the executable for your platform:

./msc_licensing_11.6_solaris64.bin

Click "Yes" to continue.

Click "Next"

Select your destination directory and click "Next"

Click "Next"

Click "Finish"

Now that the setup is complete, change directory to your FLEXlm installation location and create a new directory to keep your license file:

cd /msc/MSC.Licensing/11.6
mkdir licenses

Copy your license file to the "licenses" directory and then edit the file:

cd /msc/MSC.Licensing/11.6/licenses
cp ~/license.dat .
vi license.dat

You will need to modify the hostname and path to the MSC Vendor DAEMON:  

SERVER this_host 00221923261f 1700
DAEMON MSC /your_path/msc

will become:

SERVER license_server1 00221923261f 1700
DAEMON MSC /msc/MSC.Licensing/11.6/flexlm/solaris64/msc

Where:

license_server1 = hostname of the license server
/msc/MSC.Licensing/11.6/flexlm/solaris/msc = PATH to "MSC" vendor DAEMON.

Starting your license server:

You can start your server (and create a log file) by typing:

/msc/MSC.Licensing/11.6/bin/lmgrd -c /msc/MSC.Licensing/11.6/licenses/license.dat -l /msc/MSC.Licensing/11.6/lmgrd.log
