#FLEXLM RESERVE LICENSE SOFTWARE LICENSE#
If your site already has a FlexNet license server running that is used for licensing other vendors’ products, this may affect where and how you decide to configure the FEI Software license server.įor more information, please refer to FlexNet Publisher – License Administration Guide chapter 18 “ Managing Licenses from Multiple Software Publishers“. For instance, the FlexNet server could be on a Linux box, with the users running the FEI Software on a Windows platform. That is, the server and the FEI Software can be running on different operating systems. It is possible to do FlexNet licensing in a heterogeneous environment. The server can be installed on a computer on which the FEI Software is installed, but it does not have to be. This system should be “visible” from any system that might want to request a license. The first thing to do is decide on which computer you wish to run the FlexNet license server. Please refer to the License Manager section of the FEI Software documentation. The name can also be specified using the host domain name or the IP address. When configuring your FEI Software licensing mode, you must choose “Use FNP licensing server” and specify the name of the server (here “my-lic-server1”). 2 Configure your FEI Software Client Applications to Use a FlexNet License Server Ideally you will have access to a knowledgeable, resourceful, and experienced IT group to provide the necessary support. It can require configuration of firewalls and an in-depth knowledge of the network configuration at your site. Warning: Installation and management of floating licenses is not a trivial undertaking.
The advantage of this approach is that, unlike node-locked licensing, the product is not locked to a specific computer, but can be run on any computer that can communicate with the license server.įlexNet license server architecture example
