Installing and Setting Up the FLEXlm License Manager

was installed), you must correct the path on the DAEMON line before

you will be able to successfully start the FLEXlm license manager and

run HP Micro Focus Object COBOL/UX.

Vendor Daemon Options File

You can customize and control use of FLEXlm licenses by using the

vendor daemon options ﬁle, hpcuplangs.opt. This options ﬁle allows

you to

• reserve licenses for speciﬁed users or groups of users

• allow or disallow use of licenses to certain users

• set a longer time for retaining a license (linger)

• log activity for the use of FLEXlm’s optional report writer.

There can only be one options ﬁle per vendor daemon and each vendor

needs a separate options ﬁle.

Using Options

Options not listed in this section, but listed in GLOBEtrotter’s FLEXlm

documentation, are disabled in this implementation.

The available options are:

EXCLUDE excludes speciﬁc users from checking out licenses for a

particular feature.

GROUP allows the speciﬁcation of a group of users for use in

the other commands.

INCLUDE speciﬁes users who are allowed access to a particular

feature.

LINGER causes a license to stay with the user for the speciﬁed

time after the completion of the COBOL component

that requested it.

NOTE Setting LINGER to a value less than the minimum of 1 hour (3600

seconds) causes the minimum value to be used.

NOLOG allows the user to ﬁlter messages of the speciﬁed type

out of the daemon’s log output.
