Stand-alone Application Use of Environment Variables
136
Appendix A - Using Environment Variables to Configure a License Server
variables are used in the same way as they would be with a network license
server. Those variables which are only appropriate for a network configuration
are ignored by the stand-alone application. The differences between the use of
these variables in stand-alone and network mode is described below.
LSHOST - Disable a Network License
Your application may have been built to support both stand-alone and network
licensing. If it includes this capability then it will first try to obtain a stand-alone
license using the license server capability that is built into the application. If
unsuccessful then the application will try to obtain a network license by commu-
nicating with a license server located somewhere on the same subnet. You can
disable the network broadcast by setting LSHOST to NO_NET. With this set-
ting, the application only looks for a stand-alone license code.
LSERVOPTS - Set Application License Management Options
This variable can be set to configure the application license management options
in a way that is similar to its use on a server computer to configure a license
server. It’s recommended that the -z and -x options be used to control the size of
the usage file if logging has been enabled. The -u and -q options aren’t meaning-
ful in a stand-alone configuration and shouldn’t be used. The remaining options
are better set using a specific environment variable.
LSDEFAULTDIR - Set the Default Location of License Manage-
ment Files
This variable can be used to set the default location of the license code and log
files.
LSERVRC - Set the License Code File
This variable can be used to specify the file that is used to store the stand-alone
license codes used by the application.
