Using Time-Outs to Free Idle License Keys
2 Add the FLEXnet TIMEOUT option to the options file, using the following
syntax:
TIMEOUT feature seconds
For feature, specify MATLAB. You cannot specify separate time-out values
for individual MathWorks products, such as toolboxes.
For seconds, specify the amount of idle time you want to allow. The
minimum value is 4 hours (14,400 seconds). If you specify a time-out value
that is smaller, the minimum value is used. For example, to specify a five
hour time-out, enter the following in your options file.
TIMEOUT MATLAB 18000
Note FLEXnet supports the TIMEOUTALL option that you can use to specify
the time-out value used for all products. However, The MathWorks does
not recommend using this option. The TIMEOUTALL option affects all the
products listed in the License File which could include products from other
vendors, not just MathWorks products. In addition, when you use the
TIMEOUTALL option, the license manager log file can become misleading.
For example, log file entries include whatever value you specify in the
TIMEOUTALL option even ifthe actual value used is another value, such as
the MathWorks minimum time-out value.
3 Make sure the DAEMON line in your License File specifies the location of
your options file. The License File DAEMON line must include the options=
syntax. For example, your DAEMON line might look like the following:
DAEMON MLM "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2006b\flexlm\nlm.exe" \
options="C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2006b\flexlm\mlm.opt"
4 Stop the license manager and restart it. Whenever you change the License
File, or change the time-out value in the options file, you must restart the
license manager. See "Managing the License Manager Service" on page
3-14 for information about starting and stopping the license manager.
