Each product you add to LAC must have a license generator specified for it before you can generate licenses for the product.

You add and manage license generators using the License Generators tab from the Administration page. After adding a license generator, you can select it for use when creating or editing a product.

The settings for license generators include the following. All fields are required unless noted.

Field

Description

License Manager

The license manager you will use for license generation. LAC currently supports LM-X License Manager, FlexNet Publisher, and Reprise License Manager. Note that the other settings you define for the License Generator vary depending on which license manager you use, as noted in the field descriptions below.

Name

A descriptive name for the generator (e.g., LM-X v4.1).

Vendor Daemon Name

This field is included only if you selected FlexNet as the license generator type. The vendor daemon name defaults to "demo."

ISV Daemon Name

This field is included only if you selected Reprise as the license generator type. The ISV daemon name defaults to "demo."

License Generator Platform

The operating system the license generator runs on (Windows 32-bit or Linux 32-bit/64-bit).

Executable

The license generator executable (e.g., xmllicgen.exe). You must select and upload this file.

LM-X Security Configuration File

This field is optional, and is included only if you selected LM-X as the license generator type.

For LM-X v3.5 and newer, a security configuration file (e.g., vendor.lmx) is needed only for backwards compatibility and is not otherwise recommended.

If you use a security configuration file, you must select and upload it.

Command-line Parameters

The set of parameters used to call the license generator. This value differs depending on the license generator type selected and is not modifiable.

Optional parameters

This field is optional, and lets you specify any additional parameters for calling the license generator executable.

Normally, you do not need to add parameters; however, there may be cases where you need to set a flag for backward compatibility, as described in LM-X release notes and/or X-Formation Knowledgebase articles.

License File Extension

The file extension that will be used for the license file. This field is required and can contain from 1 to 10 characters. This field is set to "lic" by default.

Description

This field is optional, and lets you add a description for the license generator.

After entering the license generator information, click Next to save your changes and continue to the next tab, Features.
