To allow the user “jane” to use all features served by this vendor daemon:
INCLUDEALL USER jane
LINGER
LINGER feature[:keyword=value] seconds
A lingering license stays checked out for a specified period of time beyond its checkin or
FLEXenabled application exit, whichever comes first. This option extends the default linger
time configured by the vendor in the FLEXenabled application.
Note The vendor must have enabled this feature in the FLEXenabled application for it to work.
Contact your software vendor to find out if this feature is implemented.
To set the linger value for feature “
f1” to one hour (3600 seconds):
LINGER f1 3600
The actual linger time varies somewhat since the vendor daemon checks all lingering licenses
just once per minute. If, however, a new license request is made that would otherwise be denied,
a check of the lingering licenses is made immediately to attempt to satisfy the new request.
