1. Start a new project in your IDE. Base your code on the example in LM-X_installation_directory\examples\network\network.c.
   
   
2. Include the LM-X library into your application (see Integrate LM-X with your application using the LM-X API for more information).
   
   

3. Generate a floating license file using xmllicgen, located in LM-X_installation_directory\platform-specific_directory; for example, C:\LM-X\Win32_x86.
   
   An example XML template for a floating license looks like the following: 

    

   Code Block
   language html/xml
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LICENSEFILE> <SETTING END="2015-01-01" /> <FEATURE NAME="F1" /> <SETTING MAJOR_VERSION="1" /> <SETTING MINOR_VERSION="0" /> <SETTING COUNT="5" /> <SERVER_HOSTID> <SETTING ETHERNET="C8A516AD01AFC9FA" /> </SERVER_HOSTID?> </FEATURE> </LICENSEFILE>

    

    

   
   
   

4. To take the number of cores into account in your code (based on the local.c example), change the checkout parameter using LMX_Checkout:
   
   LMX_Checkout(LmxHandle, "F1", 1, 0, 1)
   
   For processor-based licensing that sets the count to the number of logical CPUs, change the checkout parameter to:
   
   LMX_Checkout(LmxHandle, "F1", 1, 0, LMX_LOGICAL_CPU_COUNT)
   
   For processor-based licensing that sets the count to the number of physical CPUs, change the checkout parameter to:
   
   LMX_Checkout(LmxHandle, "F1", 1, 0, LMX_PHYSICAL_CPU_COUNT)
   
   

5. Compile your application and start the license server to test that your application works as expected.
