Field

Description

Esri Default

vendor

Name of the vendor daemon used to serve some feature(s) in the file. This name cannot be changed by the administrator.

ARCGIS

vendor_daemon_path

Optional path to the executable for this daemon. Generally, the license administrator is free to install the daemon in any directory. (It is recommended, however, that it be installed in a local directory on the license server machine.)

If omitted, lmgrd looks for the vendor daemon binary in

• the current directory
• the path specified in lmgrd's $PATH environment variable
• in the directory where lmgrd is located

If vendor_daemon_path is blank, then any options or TCP/IP port number specifications require the OPTIONS= and PORT= strings.

options_file_

path

Full path to the end-user options file for this daemon. FLEXnet Licensing does not require an options file.

If omitted, the vendor daemon, by default, looks for a file called vendor.opt (where vendor is the vendor daemon name) located in the same directory as the license file.

port

Vendor daemon TCP/IP port number.

The default, if port is not specified, is chosen by the operating system at run-time. Sites with firewalls need to specify the TCP/IP port number the daemon uses.
