Obsolete License File Features
Existing companies can successfully use short license keys (and may very well
want to), but must obey the following rules:
• If a site wants to use older products, then you must use -verfmt ... to
create a license with long keys. Both old and new products will accept
these licenses.
• If a site is completely converting to products using FLEXlm v6+, licenses
with short keys can be shipped.
• New customers can receive licenses with short keys.
D.4.2 FEATURESET Line
The use of FEATURESET is discouraged. The FEATURESET line is required
only if ls_use_featset is set in lsvendor.c.
FEATURESET vendor key
where:
vendor
Name of the vendor daemon used to
serve at least some feature(s) in the file.
key
License key for this FEATURESET line.
This license key encrypts the license
keys of all FEATURE lines that this
vendor daemon supports, so that no
FEATURE lines can be removed or
added to this license file.
The FEATURESET line allows the vendor to bind together the entire list of
FEATURE lines supported by one vendor daemon. If a FEATURESET line is
used, then all the FEATURE lines must be present in the same order in the
customer’s license file. This is used, for example, to insure that a customer uses
a complete update as supplied, without adding old FEATURE lines from the
vendor.
