License File Format
The FLEXlm license file is stored in a user-readable, plain ASCII text format.
The following is an example of such a license file:
SERVER quint 80782d46
VENDOR vv_d2
FEATURE generic vv_d2 3.20 permanent 1 5DFC16E43C9F
ck=107 \
START=1-jan-2000
(Note the backslash ’\’ after the ck=107 indicates a continuation of the third line.)
The three fields most pertinent to Vividata products are SERVER, VENDOR, and
FEATURE. Together, these three fields form a license key. The following is a
description of these fields:
SERVER - contains information about the license server's host name and
lmhostid.
VENDOR - contains the name of the vendor-specific license daemon.
FEATURE - contains information about the features enabled in a particular
license.
Obtaining your lmhostid
If you have the FLEXlm utilities installed on your system, you can simply run
“lmhostid” to determine the lmhostid on your system. If you need the lmhostid
prior to installing the software, or if the “lmhostid” utility does not return a valid
lmhostid, please see the following table to determine your lmhostid manually.
