With an options file, you set configuration options that determine how a license server manages licenses. An options file sets parameters that the license file reads and the lmgrd program executes.
The options file on each server specifies the license-handling behavior for that server. By managing the contents of the options files, you can specify the same behavior on all license servers, or implement particular differences among the servers.
Use the options file to set parameters for the following server-related features:
You can also set up advanced license parameters, such as reserving a license, restricting license usage, or defining groups of users. To learn more about setting advanced options file parameters, see the FLEXnet documentation. This documentation is installed on the license server, in the Network License Manager directory.
