The following components may be present on a license server:

Options fileOptional file that you create. Use it to limit license usage; for example, to allocate particular licenses to a user or group of users.
Report logOptional file that can be used by FlexNet Manager, Revenera’s license management product. You enable report logging using the options file.
Trusted storage—Some publishers use trusted storage to store licenses. When trusted storage is used, the publisher provides additional components (not shown in the figure above) that create trusted storage and add licenses to it. See Trusted Storage for an overview.
