FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide 105
License File Format B
License files usually begin with a SERVER line (or three lines for three-server redundant
servers) followed by one or more VENDOR lines, followed by one or more FEATURE or
INCREMENT lines. In some cases the license file requires no SERVER line and no VENDOR
line.
You can modify these elements in the license file:
• Host names on the SERVER line(s)
• TCP/IP port numbers on the SERVER line(s)
• Paths on the VENDOR line(s)
• Options file paths on the VENDOR line(s)
• Optional TCP/IP port numbers on the VENDOR line(s) (for firewall support only)
• USE_SERVER line
• Values in
keyword=value pairs on FEATURE lines, if keyword is specified in
lowercase
Use the “\” line-continuation character to break up long lines.
8-bit Latin-based characters are fully supported in license files, options files, log files, and
FLEXenabled application environments.
See “Counted vs. Uncounted Licenses” for more information on SERVER and VENDOR line
requirements.
