Specifying Distribution Criteria for Redundant Licenses
When using the -ad and -Ad options, the format for distribution criteria is:
Server1:tokens1^Server2:tokens2...
where Server is an IP address, IPX address, or host name of the computer con-
taining a redundant license server and tokens is the number of license tokens to
be allocated to that redundant license server. Note that all server:tokens argu-
ments must be separate with a ^ symbol. For example, to distribute three license
tokens to each of three redundant license servers:
Sales:3^Engr1:3^Accounts:3
When using the -fd and -Fd options, the format of the file is the following, with
each element on a separate line in the file:
license code 1
#DIST_CRIT: server1:tokens1^server2:tokens...
license code 2
#DIST_CRIT: server1:tokens1^server2:tokens...
Note If a license code is not followed by a #DIST_CRIT: line, the license tokens
are evenly distributed among the license servers in the pool.
The distribution criteria line must begin with the characters
#DIST_CRIT:. The
format of the data following the #DIST_CRIT: label is the same as for the -ad
and -Ad options. For example:
-Fd filename Adds all license codes and distribution criteria in the file to the redundant
license server and updates the redundant license file. (Change is perma-
nent.) See below for information on the file format.
-d feature version Deletes a feature/version from the contacted license server. (Change is tem-
porary until the license server is restarted.)
-removeall Removes all license codes from the license server but does not delete them
from the license file. (Temporary change.)
