Summary


Details

In FlexLM License Server there is a special Options File with the name "ugslmd.opt"  where it is possible to define, for example, categories of users, who may use or not use special License features.

But where does the Options File need to be stored, so that it will be used by FlexLM License Server?

Solution

The Options File  "ugslmd.opt" should always be stored in the same Directory as the License File.

The name of the file always has to be  same name as the name of the vendor demon, which in this case is ugslmd.exe. The suffix of the file has always to be ".opt".

Before Solid Edge 2020 we used the proprietary demon called "selmd.exe", therefore the name of the corresponding Options File was "selmd.opt".

The syntax of both files is identical, i.e. if you used before in Solid Edge 2019 an Options File "selmd.opt", then simply copy this file and rename it to "ugslmd.opt" and Solid Edge 2020 and newer Versions will use the same options for Licensing.
