Typically, the license server components reside on a machine in the network but can optionally
reside on the same machine as the FLEXenabled application.
The three optional files: Debug Log, Administration Options, and Usage Log files are
configured by the end user.

License models that do not need a license server have two FLEXnet Licensing components:
