Defining the License File List

Install the license files in convenient locations on the system, 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. (Use a colon (:) to separate the license file names on UNIX; on Windows, use a semicolon (;).)

•

The full path to the license file

•

A directory containing one or more license files with a .lic extension

•

The license server port. Use one of the following:

•

A port@host setting, where port and host are the TCP/IP port number and host name from the SERVER line in the license file.

•

The shortcut specification, @host, if the license file SERVER line uses a default TCP/IP port or specifies a port in the default port range (27000–27009).

•

A comma separated list of three port@host specifiers denoting a license servers configured for three-server redundancy (for example, port1@host1,port2@host2,port3@host3).

Some scenarios where a license search path is used include those described in Multiple Systems, One System with Multiple License Server Instances, or One System with One License Server and Multiple License Files.
