To create a report log
1 In a text editor, open the options file, adskflex.opt.
2 In the options file, enter the following syntax on its own line
(REPORTLOG must be uppercase):
REPORTLOG [+]report_log_path
■ Windows example: REPORTLOG +"c:\My Documents\report.rl"
means that a report log named report.rl is located in the folder c:\My
Documents.
■ Mac OS X or Linux example: REPORTLOG +"/Users/<user
id>/NLM/report.rl" means that a report log named report.rl is located
in the folder /Users/<user id>/NLM.
NOTE Path names that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.
In the REPORTLOG syntax, “[+]” means that entries to the log file you
create are appended rather than replaced each time the Network License
Manager is restarted. It is recommended that you use this option to retain
a history of log entries.
Configure License Borrowing with the Options File
If your Autodesk product supports the license borrowing feature, you can use
the options file to configure license borrowing options. For example, define
the maximum number of licenses that can be borrowed from your network
at any one time. In addition, define who can borrow an Autodesk product
license. Licenses are assigned to people, not computers.
For more information on license borrowing, see
License Borrowing (page 86).
NOTE If your Autodesk product licenses are borrowed from a redundant license
server pool, you must restart the license server after you stop the Network License
Manager.
At the end of a borrow period, the borrowed license is automatically disabled
on the borrower's computer and becomes available again on the license server.
A license can also be returned before the borrow period has ended.
