FEATURE /INCREMENT Lines
Optional field. Vendor-defined license data. If a checkout is conditional on the
contents of the vendor string, then LM_A_CHECKOUTFILTER is the best
way to do this. If the VENDOR_STRING is set, you will probably also need
to set ls_compare_vendor_* in lsvendor.c.
The VENDOR_STRING is optionally configured as a pooling component, in
which case, if the string differs in any way for two INCREMENT lines for the
same feature name, they are pooled and counted separately.

3.5.27 sort
sort=nnn
Optional field. Used to override the default sorting order of
FEATURE/INCREMENT lines; nnn specifies the relative sort order. The
default sort order value is 100. Lines with a sort order value of less than 100
are sorted before all lines without this attribute, and lines with a sort order
value greater than 100 appear after all unmarked lines. All lines with the same
number are sorted as they appear in the file.
Licenses are automatically sorted when they are processed by FLEXlm; the
default sorting rules are is as follows:
1. License file. Automatic sorting does not occur across files in a license-file
list.
