The license wizard creates the following license files:
■ Workstation license: /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/DL_licenseNetwork.dat
■ For a local license server, it creates the license server license:
/usr/discreet/licserv/licenses/DL_license.dat.
■ For a remote license server, you must create the license file for the license server manually. See Create a
license file for a remote license server (page 59).

After you receive your license codes, edit the /usr/discreet/licserv/licenses/DL_license.dat license file
on the license server (or all three servers, if you are configuring redundant license servers), and enter the
license codes you received from Autodesk.
The license information contains keywords that identify the license server, as well as the license strings for
products or features.
