adskflex or adskflex.exe
The Autodesk vendor daemon used with the FLEXnet
license technology. This daemon keeps track of the Autodesk licenses that are
checked out and the computers that are using the licenses.
borrowed license
A type of network license that allows you to use an Autodesk
product for a limited period of time disconnected from the network, without
having to buy a separate license.
daemon
A program that runs continuously in the background of a computer.
The daemon handles requests from the computer and then forwards the
requests to other programs or processes. The Network License Manager uses
two daemons: the vendor daemon (
adskflex or adskflex.exe
) and the license
manager daemon (
lmgrd or lmgrd.exe
).
debug log file
A file used with FLEXnet to log connection events between the
Network License Manager and the user's computer.
deployment
A set of files and folders created on a server and used by
computers to install Autodesk programs with a consistent configuration.
distributed server
A license server configuration option in which several
servers are used 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, the other servers are still able to distribute their licenses.
Ethernet address
See
host ID
.
feature code
A license file parameter that represents the product that is
supported by that license file.
FLEXnet
The Flexera Software license management technology implemented
in the Autodesk family of products.
heartbeat signal
The communication signal between the Network License
Manager and the computer to verify that the computer is accessible and has
an active Autodesk product session running.
host ID
The unique hardware address of a network adapter. Also known as
Ethernet address
or
physical address
.
host name
The TCP/IP name associated with a computer. FLEXnet technology
uses the host name as a parameter; the host name must be distinguished from
the NetBIOS (server) name.
idle
A state of inactivity in your product that prompts a network license server
to reclaim a license. Inactivity is due to no mouse or keyboard activity and
no commands, LISP expressions, menu macros, or scripts in progress for the
period of time that is defined in the options file. See also
license timeout.
