Migrating the License Server Configuration
For SA configuration, you defined license server policies in the server_properties.c file, which was then built with the server application. The license administrator at the customer enterprise could update additional, editable properties directly in the properties.xml file, provided with the server, or through the server’s setproperties REST API (or an administrative interface, such as the FlexNet License Server Manager, that called this API).
To configure the LLS, you generate a producer-settings.xml file containing your license server policies, including the enterprise-editable ones, and distribute this file with the license server. The license administrator at the customer enterprise can use the configuration REST API to override any of the editable settings. As with the SA, this API can be called through an LLS administrative interface. (For the LLS, this interface might be the FlexNet License Administrator command-line tool, the FlexNet License Server Manager, or a custom tool you develop.)
The LLS license administrator can also define and edit properties specific to the server’s local environment. These properties are found in the flexnetls.settings file on Windows and in the /etc/default/flexnetls-producer_name file on Linux.
