Description

mcchecklicense checks if the current installation of MemCom has a valid license. mcchecklicense assumes that the path to the MemCom libraries is listed in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and that the path from where mcchecklicense is executed is consistent with the library path listed in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. mcchecklicense does not produce any printed output if the verification is successful, i.e only returns the status 0 in the shell status variable $?.

Parameters

None

Additional Information

mcchecklicense does not produce any printed output if the verification is successful. If not, a message is printed to the stderr output stream. As long as mcchecklicense is issued in interactive mode from a shall it is not necessary to check the shell status variable $?.

prompt> mcchecklicense 
prompt>
prompt> echo $?
0

if mcchecklicense is launched from a batch job, such as qsub it is recommended to always check the shell status variable $? returned by mcchecklicense.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-memcom>/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export SMR_LICENSE=<path-to-license-file>/<license-file-name>
<path-to-memcom>/bin/mcchecklicense
echo 'mcchecklicense status: ' $?

It might be necessary to re-direct the stderr output stream to the stdout output stream by adding the re-direction instruction:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-memcom>/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export SMR_LICENSE=<path-to-license-file>/<license-file-name>
<path-to-memcom>/bin/mcchecklicense 2>&1
echo 'mcchecklicense status: ' $?
