License File Syntax
112 FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide
LINGER=n
The vendor-defined lingering interval for this license. Use
LINGER in the options file to extend this time. See
“LINGER” for more information.
NOTICE="..."
A field for intellectual property notices.
OVERDRAFT=n
The overdraft policy allows your vendor to specify a number
of additional licenses which users are allowed to use, in
addition to the licenses they have purchased. This allows
your users to not be denied service when in a “temporary
overdraft” state. Usage above the license limit is reported by
the SAMreport reporting tool.
PLATFORMS="..."
Usage is limited to the listed platforms.
SN=serial_num Serial number, used to identify FEATURE or INCREMENT
lines.
START=dd-mmm-yyyy Start date.
SUITE_DUP_GROUP=...
Similar to DUP_GROUP, but affects only the enabling
FEATURE line for a package suite. It limits the total number
of users of the package to the number of licenses, and allows
the package to be shared among the users that have the SUITE
checked out.
SUPERSEDE=
"
f1 f2 ..."
If this appears, all licenses issued before the date specified in
ISSUED= are superseded by this line and become ineffective.
TS_OK
FLEXnet Licensing detects when a node-locked uncounted
license is running under Windows Terminal Server. To run the
application via a Terminal Server client window,
TS_OK must
be added to the FEATURE line. Without
TS_OK, a user
running on a Terminal Server client is denied a license.
USER_BASED[=n] Users must be specified in INCLUDE statements in the end-
user options file, and the number of users are limited to
num_lic, or the number specified in =n.
VENDOR_STRING=
"..."
Vendor-defined string, enclosed in double quotes.
