License Server - Commonly Used Variables
128
Appendix A - Using Environment Variables to Configure a License Server
-x By default, on overflow of the usage log file, the file contents will be moved
into a backup file. New usage records are then written to the original file until
it overflows again. If the -x option is specified, the file will not be backed up on
overflow; instead the license server will simply stop writing further records to
the file.
-port port-number The license server port number is used by the TCP/IP protocol when transfer-
ring data between the license server and the client. You will rarely need to
change this. See “LSPORT - Set the License Server TCP/IP Port” on
page 131.
-com percentage Commuter licensing uses the same license tokens as other network licenses.
To ensure that not all license tokens are used up by commuters, set the -com
option to the percentage of license tokens you want to be used for commuter
licensing. Once that percentage of tokens are used by commuter licenses, no
more will be made available to commuters until tokens are returned.
-rlf redundant-license-file Starts the license server as a redundant license server using the specified
redundant license file. You do not need to use this option to start the license
server as a redundant license server if a lservrlf redundant license file is in
the same directory as the license server.
-lfe encryption-level Specifies the level of encryption with which license transactions will be writ-
ten to the license server log file, 1 to 4. For a discussion of why you might
want to encrypt transactions and for information on the different levels, see
“Encrypting License Server Log File Entries” on page 26. Note that your ven-
dor can override your encryption level choice for specific license codes.
-f error-file Specifies the name and location of the error file where the license server will
log occurrences of unexpected conditions. By default, this is disabled until
the option is specified. Then the license server will append to the lservlog file
in the current directory.
-u group-reservations-file Specifies the name and location of the optional group reservations file. By
default, the license server uses the lsreserv file in the current directory. The
location of the reservations file can also be provided by the environment vari-
able, LSRESERV.
-b For Windows 95/98, starts the license server as a background service which
will not be terminated when the computer user logs off. The license server
runs without displaying a window or message. You must use the lsrvdown
command to stop the license server.
