RESERVE
RESERVE num_lic feature[:keyword=value] type {name | group_name}
Reserves licenses for a specific user.
To reserve one license of feature “f1” for user “mel”:
RESERVE 1 f1 USER mel
If you want to reserve a license for each of several users or groups, you must use a separate
RESERVE line for each user or group. If a package name is specified, all components that
comprise the package are reserved.
Note Any licenses reserved for a user are dedicated to that user. Even when that user is not actively
using the license it is unavailable to other users. However, a RESERVEd license does not cause
usage to be reported by FLEXnet Manager if the license is not actually in use.
num_lic Number of license to reserve for this user or group.
feature Feature or package this reservation applies to.
keyword=value Feature name modifier to denote a group of licenses. See
“Feature Specification” for details.

GROUP, or HOST_GROUP. See “Type Specification” for
details.
name Name of an item of type type for which license usage is
reserved.
