Glossary ❚❘❘ F FLEXlm The GLOBEtrotter Software license management technology implemented in combustion. FLEXlm provides administrative tools that help simplify management of network licenses. H Host ID The Host ID is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. It is also referred to as the Ethernet Address. This information is used when creating the combustion.lic file, which resides on the client workstation and identifies the AdLM server from which the client will obtain a network license. Host name The TCP/IP name associated with a computer. FLEXlm technology uses the host name as a parameter and must be distinguished from the NetBIOS (server) name. L license file The License File is used with FLEXlm and it controls the number of seats available for use. The license file contains licensing information provided by Autodesk. You obtain license file data when you register combustion. This file must be in plain ASCII text format. license server A server that contains the AdLM. The License Server is configured with the lmtools.exe utility. lmgrde.exe The license manager daemon, it handles the original contact with combustion, and then passes the connection to the vendor demon adskflex.exe.

It passes user requests on to the vendor daemons. lmtools.exe One of two FLEXlm utilities used for managing the license server. Lmtools.exe provides a graphical user interface utility used to administer the FLEXlm license technology on the license server. (Lmutil.exe is the command-line version of this utility.) lmutil.exe One of two FLEXlm utilities used for managing the license server.
