Configure a license file.
You need to install a license file using the script provided by Nuance.
The Nuance script changes the filename expected by the licensing server, and restarts licensing server to use the new filename. Do the following:
Copy the new license file to /usr/local/Nuance/license_manager/components/license/new_filename.lic
Change directory to /usr/local/Nuance/license_manager/components
Run the script set-new-lic-file.sh. The usage format is: set-new-lic-file.sh full_path_to_new_license_file
For example:
#cd /usr/local/Nuance/license_manager/components #./set-new-lic-file.sh /nuance/license_manager/license/my.lic
To replace the current license file using FLEXnet tools, put the new license file in a secure disk location (Nuance recommends using a different name for each license file), use lmtools or installs.exe to point the licensing server to the new file, and restart the licensing server. The tools are in install_path/components, and are described in the FLEXnet documentation (see install_path/doc/LicensingEndUserGuide.pdf).
Start the licensing server. The licensing server starts automatically when you restart the host machine. The service name is “Nuance License Server.” The service runs the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/nuance-licmgr, which calls the License Server Daemon with the appropriate command options. This service is created and configured during installation using the template install_path/components/nuance-licmgr. The root user can manually stop and start the licensing server, and can perform a restart:
> /etc/rc.d/init.d/nuance-licmgr start > /etc/rc.d/init.d/nuance-licmgr stop > /etc/rc.d/init.d/nuance-licmgr restart
When installing Nuance licensed products, administrators must configure the number of licenses checked out by that product at runtime
Move the Recognizer evaluation license to /usr/local/Nuance/license_manager/license Merge together the two license files (Vocalizer and Recognizer) by copying in one of them the INCREMENTs from the other one and save the combined file with a new name (e.g. nve6_nr10_eval.lic). Goto /usr/local/Nuance/license_manager/components and run the command
./set-new-lic-file.sh /usr/local/Nuance/license_manager/license/nve6_nr10_eval.lic
Change directory to the location of the downloaded software, and extract the archive:
#tar –zxf NRec-xxxxx.tar.gz
The tar command extracts the installation files to a Nuance_Recognizer subdirectory.
Run the install.sh script:
#cd Nuance_Recognizer #./install.sh
