Environment Variables
Q: What does the environment variable META_QUEUE do?
A: If META_QUEUE is enabled, it allows licenses to be queued. For example, a customer has five Star-Hspice floating licenses; if all five licenses are checked out and META_QUEUE is enabled, then the next job submitted waits in queue until a license is available. If META_QUEUE is not enabled in this situation, you simply get an error message that no licenses are available.
NOTE: If you have more than one Star-Hspice token (INCREMENT line) and the version dates are different, only the first token in your license file is queued. FLEXlm queues for the first INCREMENT line that satisfies the request. If you have two INCREMENT lines with different versions, there are two license pools created on the server. When you issue the queuing request, the server tries to satisfy the request, and, if not possible, queues for the first INCREMENT line that would satisfy the request. Once it queues for that particular INCREMENT line, the server waits for it to become free. It does not continually look for any other line that might satisfy this request. This is normal operation for FLEXlm.
