First, add the new installation directory to your PATH variable so that the converge executable and associated tools are included in the search path on the machine by typing
export PATH=$PATH:/<install directory>/<architecture>/bin
For example, for a 64-bit Linux install that used the default installation directory, you would type
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/converge-<version>/l_x86_64/bin
Second, if the environment variable CONVERGE_ROOT is set in your environment, CONVERGE will first look in $CONVERGE_ROOT/license/license.lic for a valid license.lic file. If this variable is not set, CONVERGE will look for the license.lic file in your present working directory. CONVERGE_ROOT should be set to the install directory. For the case of the default install directory, a valid CONVERGE_ROOT value would be
/usr/local/converge-<version>
If you do not have CONVERGE_ROOT set, then you must have RLM_LICENSE set to ensure proper licensing behavior.
export RLM_LICENSE=2765@<license server hostname>
See the license server errors section for more information.
