ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE In a distributed license server configuration, the environment
variable used to point a workstation to the distributed license servers.
adskflex.exe The Autodesk vendor daemon used with the FLEXnet license technology. This
daemon keeps track of the Autodesk licenses that are checked out and the workstations that
are using the licenses.
borrowed license A license that allows you to use an Autodesk product for a limited period
of time without having to buy a separate license or have network access to the license server.
daemon A program that runs continuously in the background of a computer. The daemon
handles requests from the computer and then forwards the requests to other programs or
processes. The Network License Manager uses two daemons: the vendor daemon (adskflex.exe)
and the license manager daemon (lmgrd.exe).
debug log file A file used with FLEXnet to log connection activity (such as license failure or
starting and stopping) between the Network License Manager and the workstation.
deployment The files and folders created on a server and used by workstations to install
Autodesk programs.
distributed server A license server configuration option in which several servers are used to
manage license distribution. Each distributed license server has a unique license file and a
fixed number of licenses. If one distributed license server fails, the other servers are still able
to distribute their licenses.
Ethernet address See host ID.
feature code A license file parameter that represents the product that is supported by that
license file.
