The options file allows the license administrator to control various
operating parameters of
FLEXnet Licensing.
Parameters, such as EXCLUDE,
INCLUDE, MAX, and
RESERVE, can be used to control license usage.
Usage can be controlled by user name, host name, display,
IP address, or project. When specifying the
features to control, you may specify features listed on a
FEATURE line in the license file. Using a
PACKAGE name in place of a
FEATURE name applies the option to all of the
components in the package. You should not specify individual
COMPONENTS listed on the
PACKAGE line, as it may lead to unexpected
behavior. See Chapter 5 of the
FLEXnet Licensing
End User Guide for detailed information on creating an options file.
