Notes for End Users
As a user of a FLEXenabled application, you may need to know a few things to use the system

• How to tell an application which license file to use
• How to query the system to find out who is using a license
How to Specify a License File Location
The license file determines what features are available to a FLEXenabled application. It also
contains information telling the application how to connect to the license server system.
For information about the standard way of specifying the location of a license file for an
application, see Chapter 2, “License File Basics.”
