For example, the following option syntax reserves one license of feature f1 for user mel:

RESERVE 1 f1 USER mel

If you want to reserve a license for each of several users or groups, you must use a separate RESERVE line for each user or group. If a package name is specified, all components that comprise the package are reserved.

The RESERVE keyword should not be used on packages and package suites that also use the SUITE_RESERVED option. The RESERVE keyword in the options file includes static information about the reservation policy. The SUITE_RESERVED option reserves a set of package components. Once one package component is checked out, all the other components are reserved for that same user. When the license keys are checked out by a user, the SUITE_RESERVED option within the Package will dictate additional reservation policy which can dynamically change depending on the product usage pattern. Because these options present conflicting reserve parameters, they can not be used together. The total number of reservations supported per options file is 10000.

Note:Any licenses reserved for a user are dedicated to that user. Even when that user is not actively using the license, it is unavailable to other users. However, a RESERVEd license does not cause usage to be reported by FlexNet Manager if the license is not actually in use.
