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
Host ID Binds the license to a particular server.
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-
es Specifies the number of licenses (i.e.
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.
