1. Open a Linux terminal as a non-root user in that user's home directory.
   
   
2. Download the Partek FlexNet 11.12 distribution. Versions of FlexNet downloaded from other locations will not work as they do not contain the Partek vendor daemon (parteklm).
   $ cd
   $ wget http://www.partek.com/~devel/FlexNet/FlexNet11.12.zip
   $ unzip FlexNet11.12.zip
   
   
3. Obtain the license key from Partek. Save it in the home directory as license.dat.
   If you have not received the license.dat file, contact your Account Manager or email email licensing@partek.com.
   
   
4. Determine if your Linux workstation is 32 or 64-bit.
   
   
5. Start the license server.
   If you are on a 64-bit workstation (most-likely):
   $ ~/FlexNet/linux64/lmgrd -c ~/license.dat -l ~/flexlog.txt
   If you are on a 32-bit workstation:
   $ ~/FlexNet/linux32/lmgrd -c ~/license.dat -l ~/flexlog.txt
   
   
6. Verify the licensing server is running and offering features: flow_base, flow_hpc_nodes, and flow_hpc_cores:
   $ ~/FlexNet/linux64/lmutil lmstat -a (64-bit)
   $ ~/FlexNet/linux32/lmutil lmstat -a (32-bit)
