Type of license | What you need |
Trial | No license or setup required. |
Standalone (also referred to as node-locked) | A license file installed on, and often locked to, an individual machine. |
Network (also referred to as floating or shared) | A license server deployed at your site and a license file that is installed on that license server. (See section 6, How to install a license server on Windows for details on installing network licenses.) |
The See "LM-X End-user Configuration Tool" on page (see section 4.3) helps you obtain the information your vendor may request from you in order to create your node-locked or floating license. For example, your application vendor may ask for your hostid. This is quickly and easily obtained by running the configuration tool and copy/pasting information from it to send to your vendor.
The LM-X End-user Configuration Tool also gives you a quick and easy way to add or remove license files from your license path, install a license server, query a license server, and activate a license (when required by the vendor), all from one simple dialog. These same tasks can also be run from a command line on either Windows or Unix with the See "LM-X End-user utility" on page as described in section 4.2.
