If the license file being shipped is to be a local license, we recommend that you set a predefined license path for where the application program should look for licenses, as shown in the following example.
On Windows systems:
LMX_SetOption(..., LMX_OPT_LICENSE_PATH, (LMX_OPTION) "licenses
...
application.lic");
On Unix systems:
LMX_SetOption(..., LMX_OPT_LICENSE_PATH, (LMX_OPTION) "licenses/application.lic");
This example sets the preferred license path to the file application.lic in the licenses subdirectory of the current directory path.
If the license is for network use, you should instruct users on how to install the license server and get it up and running.
