Installation guide
DREA CR 2001-10715
Once we had installed the update, the IDL demos ran successfully. We then sent an e-mail to
register@rsinc.com to obtain an IDL license file, and eventually received an e-mail reply
which contained the license file. We extracted the license file from the e-mail, and copied it to
the file /usr/local/rsi/license/license.dat.
In order to run IDL as a licensed user, it was necessary to start the "license manager daemon".
To simplify matters, we decided to start the daemon automatically at boot time. This was done
by adding the following line to the end of the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
/usr/local/rsi/idl_5.2/bin/lmgrd -c /usr/local/rsi/license/license.dat
