TIMEOUT
TIMEOUT feature[:keyword=value] seconds
Sets the time after which an inactive license is freed and reclaimed by the vendor daemon.
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 timeout for feature “f1” to one hour (3600 seconds):
TIMEOUT f1 3600
TIMEOUT checks in the licenses if the FLEXenabled application has been inactive for a period
longer than the specified time period. The daemon declares a process inactive when it has not
received heartbeats from it; whereas, an active FLEXenabled application sends heartbeats.
A TIMEOUT line must be present in the options file in order to take advantage of the vendor-
enabled timeout feature.
TIMEOUTALL
TIMEOUTALL seconds
Same as TIMEOUT, but applies to all features.
How the Vendor Daemon Uses the Options File
When the vendor daemon is started by lmgrd, the vendor daemon reads its options file. There
is only one options file per vendor daemon and each vendor daemon needs its own options file.
For any changes in an options file to take effect, the vendor daemon must read its options file.
The
lmreread utility causes the vendor daemon to reread its options file.

seconds Number of seconds after which inactive license is reclaimed. The
