Customer now has (2) ABB RCS licenses.
(1) 4-Robot
(1) 10-Robot (Just purchased and need to assign our direct RCS Server to it as well)
Customer uses a server to host the ABB RCS, and another to host the licenses. The ABB RCS server points to the license file on the License Server. Now that customer has (2) licenses, can they setup the RCS Server to point to both of these licenses and not just the one?
This scenario is handled by FlexLM by using a license file list. This is extra overhead for the server IT admin to manage.
Managing Multiple License Files
You can manage multiple license files that are on the same server machine via a license-file list. A license-file list is specified two ways:
o By using the -c option to lmgrd
lmgrd -c license_file_list [other lmgrd options]
o By defining the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable within the scope of the lmgrd process' environment.
Install the license files in convenient locations on the server machine and then define the license_file_list.
Wherever license_file_list is specified it consists of a list of one or more of the following components:
o the full path to the license file
o a directory containing one or more license files with a .lic extension
o A comma separated list of three port@host specifiers denoting a three-server redundant configuration. For example,
port1@host1,port2@host2,port3@host3
specifies the three-server redundant configuration composed of host1, host2, and host3.Note: Use a colon (" : ") to separate the license file names on UNIX and on Windows use a semicolon (" ; ").
lmgrd builds up an internal license-file list when it starts up by parsing each license-file list component in the order listed.
