A
adsflex.exe
The Autodesk vendor daemon used with the
FLEXlm license technology. The
adsflex.exe
keeps
track of the licenses that are checked out and the
workstations that are using the licenses.
ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE
In a distributed license server configuration, the
environment variable used to point a client
workstation to the distributed license servers.
C
client deployment
Also called a thick-client installation, an installation
in which
combustionSetup.exe
resides on the client
workstation.
combustion.lic
The client installation creates a
combustion.lic
file on
the client workstation that identifies which license
server the client communicates with to obtain a
network license. In both single and redundant server
configurations, the
combustion.lic
file is used to
point the client workstation to the FLEXlm license
server.
combustion
sends a message to the AdLM
server listed in the
combustion.lic
file through the
network protocol and requests a license. The
combustion.lic
file is located in the root installation
folder.
D
daemon
A process that runs in the background of a
computer, doing automated processing.
combustion
uses two daemons: the vendor daemon
(
adeskflex.exe
) and the master daemon (
lmgrd.exe
).
debug log file
A file used with FLEXlm to log connection activity
(such as license failure or starting and stopping)
between the AdLM and the client workstation.
deployment
The files and folders created on a server and used by
client workstations to install
combustion
. The
deployment must be located on a network share that
all client workstations can access.
distributed server
The distributed server model is the preferred
method of installing
combustion
in a network
environment. This license server configuration
option allows several servers to manage license
distribution. Each distributed license server has a
unique license file and a fixed number of licenses. If
one distributed license server fails for any reason, the
other servers are still able to distribute their licenses.
E
Ethernet address
The unique hardware address of a network adapter.
Also known as Host ID.
