Format of the demo license file
This is intended to familiarize you with the demo license file. You do not need to
read this section if you are only interested in installing the license.
LSF licenses are stored in a text file. The default name of the license file is
license.dat.
The
license.dat file for an LSF license normally contains the same products
defined in
lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
The
license.dat file for a demo license contains a FEATURE line for each LSF
product. Each feature contains an expiry date and ends with the string
DEMO.
For example:
FEATURE lsf_base lsf_ld 7.000 24-Oct-2008 100 DCF7C3D92A5471A12345 "Platform" DEMO
The FEATURE line contains an encrypted key to prevent tampering.
A demo license does not require a server daemon or vendor daemon, so it does not
contain
SERVER or DAEMON lines, only FEATURE lines.
