HOSTID=
"hostid1
[hostid2 ...
hostidn]"
Id of the host to which the feature line is bound. hostid is
determined with the lmhostid utility. This field is required
for uncounted licenses; but can be used for counted licenses
as well. See Appendix A, “Hostids for FLEXnet Licensing-
Supported Platforms,” for more information.
HOST_BASED[=n] Host names must be specified in INCLUDE statements in
the end-user options file, and the number of hosts is limited
to
num_lic, or the number specified in =n.
ISSUED=dd-mmm-yyyy Date issued.
ISSUER="..."
Issuer of the license.
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 FLEXnet Manager 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ISSUED= are superseded by this line and become ineffective.
