Setting up a FlexLM service for SystemD

Create directory structure

1. Create the directory for the flexlm user to use, e.g., /opt/flexlm
2. Place all the binaries for the licence manager and the licence in a vendor specific subdirectory

At this point you should have something similar to following directory structure:

/opt/flexlm/
└── VENDOR
