Configure Local License (Linux)

In SuperMap GIS, licenses that do not rely on network usage are categorized as local licenses, including file licenses and hardware licenses. This document explains how to configure and view license information in Linux systems.

Config File License

Configure *.licx File

  1. Manually create the /opt/SuperMap/License directory and grant read/write permissions to it.
  2. Place the obtained *.licx file in the directory created in Step 1.

If you place the *.licx file in another directory, execute the following command in the product package root directory:  ./licensetool.sh -update /pathname/*.licx

Use License in Desktop Application

  1. License configuration entry points:
    • If no license information exists, the Change License dialog will automatically appear when launching the product.
    • If license information exists, click the File tab -> License Information -> Change License button to open the Change License dialog.
  2. Click Configure Local License in the dialog and proceed by clicking Next.
  3. View or update license information:
    • If no license information exists, click Configure Local License to enter the License Center configure *.licx license file, then return to this dialog and click Refresh to retrieve it.
    • If license information exists, both basic license and extension license will be displayed.
      • Basic License: Shows the cloud licensing version for the current account, including Basic Edition, Standard Edition, and Advanced Edition.
      • Extension License: Displays license information for extension modules.

Check License Status

View license status information by executing the following command in the product root directory: $ ./licensetool.sh -s

License status information includes Product ID, Module ID, Product Name, Type (Official/Trial Edition), License Count, and Expiration Time.

License Update

Place the obtained *.licx file in the /opt/SuperMap/License directory. If placed elsewhere, execute: $ ./licensetool.sh -update /pathname/*.licx

Configure Hardware License

Install License Driver

Hardware license configuration requires installing a license driver to connect hardware dongles. The computer connected to the hardware dongle becomes the license server. If a license server already exists within the same network segment, licenses will be automatically configured without manual intervention.

Installation steps:

  1. Set root password in terminal (skip if already set): sudo passwd root
  2. Switch to root user: sudo -s
  3. Navigate to product_package/support/ directory and extract driver package: tar -xvf aksusbd-8.31.1.tar
  4. Enter extracted directory: cd aksusbd-8.31.1
  5. Install driver: sh dinst or ./ dinst. If dinst lacks executable permissions, grant them first: chmod +x dinst  

After installation, you will obtain a 90-day trial license to use SuperMap GIS products.

On 64-bit Linux systems, you may encounter "The 32bit support is missing..." errors. Required support libraries:

  • libc6-i386 and ia32-libs (Ubuntu)
  • libstdc++-devel.i686, glibc.i686, libgcc.i686, libstdc++.i686, glibc-devel.i686 (RHEL, CentOS, OpenSUSE, SLES, OES)
  • glibc-32bit (OpenSUSE, SLES, OES)

Installation method: Execute the following command in product_package/support directory to automatically detect and install dependencies: ./dependencies_check_and_install.sh install -y

After installing missing 32-bit libraries, re-execute ./dinst or sh dinst to obtain the 90-day trial license.

Configure License

  • Standalone dongle (green texture): Insert directly after driver installation.
  • Network dongle (red texture):
    1. Access http://localhost:1947 or http://local_IP:1947 via browser.
    2. Select Configuration in left panel.
    3. Choose Access to Remote License Managers tab on right.
    4. Enter license server IP from other subnet in Remote License Search Parameters and click Submit. The dongle will appear under Sentinel Keys.
