Appendix B - License File Format
License File Syntax
FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide 113
Table B-2 lists attributes that may appear in a FEATURE or INCREMENT line. They are
supplied at the discretion of the vendor to provide particular licensing behavior. If present in
the FEATURE or INCREMENT line, they must remain there and cannot be altered by the end
user. These attributes have a
keyword=value syntax where keyword is in uppercase.
In places where value is a string surrounded with double quotes (“...”), the string can
contain any characters except a quote.
Table B-2: Vendor Supplied Attributes
Attribute Description
BORROW[=n]
Enables license borrowing for a particular
FEATURE/INCREMENT line.
n is the number of hours that
the license is borrowed. The default borrow period is 168
hours, or one week.
DUP_GROUP=... The syntax is:
DUP_GROUP=NONE|SITE|[UHDV]
U = DUP_USER
H = DUP_HOST
D = DUP_DISPLAY
V = DUP_VENDOR_DEF
Any combination of UHDV is allowed, and the DUP_MASK
is the OR of the combination. For example,
DUP_GROUP=UHD means the duplicate grouping is
(DUP_USER|DUP_HOST|DUP_DISPLAY), so for a user on
the same host and display, additional uses of a feature do not
consume additional licenses.
FLOAT_OK
[
=server_hostid]
Enables mobile licensing via FLEXid with FLOAT_OK for a
particular FEATURE/INCREMENT line. This
FEATURE/INCREMENT line must also be node-locked to a
FLEXid.
When
FLOAT_OK=server_hostid is specified on a
FEATURE line:
•The
server_hostid must refer to the same host that
appears on the SERVER line of the license file.
• The license server system runs only on the machine with
the hostid that
lmhostid returns equal to the
server_hostid specified with FLOAT_OK.
