2 Network Planning Concepts License File The license file contains licensing information provided by Autodesk, including license type, behavior, and the number of seats available for use. You obtain license file data when you register combustion. Save each file to the C:\Program Files\Autodesk License Manager\License folder. You can name the license file anything you like, although the name must have a .lic extension, or you can append the Increment information to a Autodesk .lic file on your license server. The license file includes information about network server nodes and vendor daemons, and an encrypted digital signature created when Autodesk generates the license file. The following is a template for the contents of a license file: SERVER ServerName HostID USE_SERVER VENDOR VendorDaemon port=portnumber INCREMENT IncrementName VendorDaemon Version ExpirationDate NumberofLicenses \ VENDOR_STRING=UsageType:LicenseBehavior SUPERSEDE DUP_GROUP=DupGroup \ ISSUED=IssueDate ck= SN=SerialNumber SIGN= License File Parameters The following table provides a definition for each license file parameter. Parameter Definition ServerName and Binds the license to a particular server. Host ID VendorDaemon The name of the server-side Autodesk license daemon. portnumber Reserved and assigned for use only for Autodesk products running the Autodesk/FLEXlm vendor daemon. IncrementName Name of the product. Version The product release version. ExpirationDate The amount of time the license is available. NumberofLicens- Specifies the number of licenses (i.e. es seats) to be managed by a particular server or redundant server pool. VENDOR_STRING Defines the license configuration settings, UsageType and License Behavior. SUPERSEDE Replace lines in a license file that have a date earlier than the defined IssueDate. The Autodesk policy for modifying a license is to re-issue the license file. Since there can be multiple INCREMENT lines, the SUPERSEDE/ ISSUED parameters are used to replace any previous product or feature of the same name. DupGroup Defines how the server does or does not handle the sharing of multiple license requests. The default for this behavior is Host, which allows for multiple copies on the same computer to share the same license. IssueDate The date the license file was generated by Autodesk. ck= Can be used with the lmcksum utility to help verify that the license information has been entered correctly by the license administrator. SerialNumber The serial number of the Autodesk product. SIGN= The encrypted signature used to authenticate the attributes of the license file. 10
