Installing and Setting Up the FLEXlm License Manager
Installing and Setting Up the FLEXlm
License Manager
HP Micro Focus Object COBOL Developer Suite uses GLOBEtrotter’s
Flexible License Manager (FLEXlm version 5.12a) software to provide
license enforcement for components of this suite.
The HP Micro Focus Object COBOL Developer Suite utilizes floating
licenses (as opposed to node, terminal, or user locked licenses) to provide
the greatest flexibility. Users can utilize some or all of the licenses as
floating licenses and customize these licenses to reserve, restrict, or
allow access to licenses based on a variety of criteria, including access
based on host machine, terminal, or user.
NOTE If you are updating from HP Micro Focus Object COBOL/UX version
B.12.2x or B.13.2x (Micro Focus version 4.1) to this version, you can use
your current FLEXlm configuration.
For New Installations:
If this is a new installation of HP Micro Focus Object COBOL/UX, after
you have installed HP Micro Focus Object COBOL Developer Suite, you
