HP-MPI Version 1.2 for Windows Release Note

If the license needs to be placed in another location which cannot be found by the previous search,
the user can set the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to explicitly specify the location
of the license file.
For more information, see http://licensing.hp.com.
1.14.1.1 Installing License Files
A valid license file contains the system hostid and the associated license key. License files can
be named either as license.dat or any name with extension of *.lic (like mpi.lic, for example).
The license file must be copied to the installation directory (default C:\Program Files (x86)\
Hewlett-Packard\HP-MPI\licenses) on all runtime systems, and to the license server.
The command to run the license server is:
%MPI_ROOT%\bin\licensing\<arch>\lmgrd" -c mpi.lic
1.14.1.2 License Testing
Build and run the hello_world program in %MPI_ROOT%\help\hello_world.c to check for
a license. If your system is not properly licensed, the following error message displays:
(“MPI BUG: Valid MPI license not found in search path”)
