You use license paths to describe where licenses are found. In FlexNet/FLEXlm, the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE or VENDOR_LICENSE_FILE defines where the application should look for a license. With LM-X, you use the variable LMX_LICENSE_PATH or VENDOR_LICENSE_PATH.

The following tables show examples of specifying the path to a local license.
