What needs to be in the .lic. file?

[Anonymous]

I got my nice e-mail from Autodesk with a whole bunch of stuff in it. What
portion of this e-mail do I need to cut and paste into the .lic file that I
point my FlexLM install to?

James -
The .lic file should be something like the following.

SERVER pc12345 123456789012
USE_SERVER
VENDOR adskflex port=2080
INCREMENT 41100ACD_2002_0F adskflex 1.000 permanent 3 \
VENDOR_STRING=commercial:permanent SUPERSEDE DUP_GROUP=H \
ISSUED=22-jan-2001 ck=231 SN=399-99999999 SIGN=6E88EFA8D44C

Where the first line is
SERVER The name of your adlm server : the ethernet address of your server
USE_SERVER just has to be there??
VENDOR the name of the vendor daemon : the port the vendor daemon runs on (by default)
INCREMENT the secret squirrel name of the product : The vendor daemon name again : The
vendor daemon version : the date the license expires : the number of licenses \
VENDOR_STRING=commercial:permanent (I really don't understand this part, maybe Simon will
explain) : SUPERSEDE means that this line supersedes any lines with the same increment
code issued at an earlier date : DUP_GROUP=H (host mode) means to only use one license
when a single workstation opens up more than one session of the product \
ISSUED=The date it was issued : ck=some kind of check sum. I'm not sure what. SN=Acad
serial number SIGN=Secret squirrel code generated so that people can't just make up
license files themselves.

The \ at the end of each line appear to be "continued" statement so that the lines can be
"wrapped".

If you have more than 1 product (say vanilla and ldt) then you'll have an INCREMENT....
line for each product with a different product number ck# SN and Sign #.

It was working...it just won't tell you that oyu have licenses available
until you actually have one checked out. I kept running server status with
no licenses listed. Soon as I launched the attached workstation, it worked
like a champ. Showed me one checked out to that users and the number
available. Who knows. No big thing. Just glad that it works.

James -
Did you do the "List all active licenses" or the "Display everything" option? Mine is
showing available licenses when I do the Display everything.

Jason,

The vendor string is showing the usage type. i.e commercial/nfr/educational
and whether or not the license is temporary or not.
