The Settings tab in the Templates dialog lets you define settings for each feature in the template (specified using the Features tab), including the following.
- Feature version.
- Expiration type. The expiration type can be Fixed, Days from Activation, or Permanent. If you select Fixed, set the date the license will expire (you can type in the date or select it using the calendar). If you select Days From Activation, enter the number of days the license will be valid after being activated.
- You can enter custom text that will be part of the feature's license template in the Additional Settings edit box. For example, you could include XML code that will be part of xmllicgen input. One such example is specifying that sharing will be used by adding the tags that LM-X supports: <SETTING SHARE="HOST" />.
- The following fields are included for use only with LM-X License Manager license generators, and are equivalent to using directives in LM-X License Manager (see "Feature descriptions" section of the LM-X Developers Manual for more information). Note that these fields are not yet supported in the current version of SOAP, so you must use the additional_settings property to use these options in the SOAP API. These fields will be supported in a future version of SOAP.

You can edit multiple features at once by clicking the Expand icon at the left of the Settings dialog to switch to Bulk Editing, shown below. This opens a left panel that lets you make the above settings for all features in the product at once. For example, if you have features F1, F2 and F3 included in the product template, and all share the same expiration settings, you can use Bulk Editing to set the expiration once for all three features.
