  1. Click the Adminstration tab at the top of the License Activation Center LAC web application page.
  2. Click the License Generators tab in the Administration page. (Note that this page will display all license generators that currently exist in LAC, and you can edit values for existing license generators here at any time by clicking the edit icon under the Action column.)
  3. Under the Menu area, click Create License Generator. The Add License Generator dialog appears. 
  4. For License Manager, select the license manager you will use for license generation. You can select LM-X License Manager, FlexNet Publisher, or Reprise License Manager. For this example, we'll use LM-X License Manager.
  5. Enter an appropriate name for the license generator. For this example, we'll use xmllicgen Windows_x86.
  6. If you selected FlexNet or Reprise as the License Manager in step 4, you must also enter the vendor/ISV daemon name, which defaults to "demo" for both these license manager types. This setting is not applicable to LM-X License Manager.
  7. Select the platform for the license generator from the License Generator Platform selection list, for example "Windows (x86)".
  8. To the right of the Executable field, click the "..." button to browse for and select the license generator executable (which for LM-X is xmllicgen.exe).
  9. If you selected LM-X as the License Manager in step 4, you can browse for and select a configuration file in the LM-X Security Config File field. This is not normally needed, so we'll leave this blank for our example. This setting applies only to LM-X, and is not present for other license manager types. 
  10. Note that the Command Line Parameters field shows the command-line parameters that will be used used to call the license generator executable. This field is view-only. 
  11. The Optional Parameters field lets you enter additional parameters that are needed for calling the license generator executable. Normally, you don't need to enter anything in this field. However, if you need to set a flag for backward compatibility, for example, you can enter the flag here.  
  12. Enter the extension you will use for license files generated using this license generator. By default, this is ".lic," but you can enter any string from 1 to 10 characters.
  13. If desired, enter a description for the license generator in the Description field.
  14. Click Save. The dialog closes and you return to the License Generators tab. The grid in this tab should now contain the license generator you just defined. For our example, the license generator is named "xmllicgen Windows_x86." 
  15. Download the license generator by clicking the Download icon under the Action column.
