license file
The following is an example of a demo license file. This file licenses LSF 7, advance
reservation, and Platform LSF Make. The license is valid until October 24, 2008.
Format of the permanent license file
A permanent license file has the same format as other products licensed with
FLEXlm. If you are already familiar with FLEXlm license files, you can skip this
section.
In addition to the information presented in the demo license file (see Format of the
demo license file on page 152), the permanent license file includes the following:
◆ A SERVER line for each FLEXlm server host. The SERVER line contains the
following server information:
❖ Host name
❖ Hardware host ID
❖ TCP port number used by the FLEXlm license server daemon (lmgrd)
SERVER hostA 880a0748a 1700
◆ A DAEMON line for each software vendor, which gives the file path name of the
LSF license vendor daemon (
lsf_ld, normally installed in
LSF_SERVERDIR).
DAEMON lsf_ld /usr/local/lsf/etc/lsf_ld
◆ Each FEATURE line in the license ends with Platform, instead of DEMO.
FEATURE lsf_base lsf_ld 7.000 1-jan-0000 100 DCF7C3D92A5471A12345 "Platform"
For permanent licenses, the licenses granted by the FEATURE line can be
accessed only through license server hosts listed on the
SERVER lines.
