Software Activation for Network Licensing

Chapter 1 - Getting Started
Using lslic to Install a License Code
If the application has not been configured to install the license code itself, you
will need to use the lslic utility to install the license code you have obtained from
your vendor.
Note Installing a stand-alone license is simple. If you don’t want to use lslic, you
can use a text editor to open the lservrc file; then, just type the license code
into that file on its own line.
Your vendor should have placed the lslic.exe program in the same directory as
your protected application. To install the license code, at the operating system
command prompt, type:
lslic -A license-code
where license-code is the string of characters given to you by your vendor.
If you do not include the license code after the -A option, lslic asks you for it.
If your vendor has given you a license code file to install rather than a string of
characters to type, at the operating system command prompt, type:
lslic -F filename
where filename is the name of the file given to you by your vendor containing
the license code.
lslic adds the license code to the license file. The license file must reside in the
same directory as the application, and by default is named lservrc.
Software Activation for Network Licensing
The main difference between activating software that uses a network license
rather than a stand-alone license is that the license code must be installed in the
license file that resides in the same directory and on the same computer where
the license server runs.
