6. _C_h_a_n_g_e_s__a_n_d__A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s
6.1 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_i_n_g__I_N_C_R_E_M_E_N_T__a_n_d__P_A_C_K_A_G_E__l_i_c_e_n_s_e_s
The graphical user interface has been enhanced to support
the installation of FLEXlm INCREMENT and PACKAGE licenses.
6.2 _F_L_E_X_l_m__5_._1_2_a__U_p_g_r_a_d_e
This release of license_eoe incorporates version v5.12a of
FLEXlm from Globetrotter Software. Chapter 7 of this
release note contains the FLEXlm v5.12a FLEXlm release notes
from Globetrotter Software. Please refer to these release
notes for information on changes in FLEXlm.
6.3 _R_e_m_o_v_a_l__o_f__S_e_t__U_s_e_r__I_D__B_i_t
The License Manager executable is no longer installed with
the set user ID bit. This enhances system security by
removing one source of unintended root access. This change
incorporates the bug fixes released in Patch 1678 and Patch
1695.
6.4 _A_u_t_o_m_a_t_i_c__L_i_c_e_n_s_e__D_a_e_m_o_n__M_a_n_a_g_e_m_e_n_t
This version of License Manager now includes the automatic
management of the FLEXlm license daemon, _l_m_g_r_d. At the end
of an installation session, if License Manager has installed
any FLEXlm floating licenses, License Manager will start the
license daemon if it is not running, or inform the license
daemon of the new licenses if it is.
6.5 _B_u_f_f_e_r_i_n_g__o_f__L_i_c_e_n_s_e__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_s_s_a_g_e_s
When installing multiple licenses during an automatic
license installation session (e.g. Web License
Installation), License Manager now buffers the installation
status of each license and displays them at the end of the
installation session.

6.6 _A_l_i_a_s__|__W_a_v_e_f_r_o_n_t__M_o_d_e
License Manager now can be run with the argument -_v_e_n_d_o_r _a_w,
which causes it to run in Alias | Wavefront mode. This mode
changes the default installation location for licenses,
modifies some program messages, and changes some of the
default data values in the installation dialogs.
6.7 _T_u_r_n_i_n_g__O_f_f__A_u_t_o_m_a_t_i_c__L_i_c_e_n_s_e__R_e_p_l_a_c_e_m_e_n_t
It is now possible to turn off the automatic license
replacement logic when installing licenses in the automatic
license installation mode. See the _L_i_c_e_n_s_e _M_a_n_a_g_e_r(_1)
manual page for more information.
It is also possible to enforce _s_t_r_i_c_t _r_e_p_l_a_c_e_m_e_n_t. Licenses
are replaced only if the feature name and version number
match exactly. See the _L_i_c_e_n_s_e _M_a_n_a_g_e_r(_1) manual page for
more information.
6.8 _A_u_t_o_m_a_t_i_c__U_p_d_a_t_e__o_f__L_i_c_e_n_s_e__F_i_l_e__D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e
When a license is installed into a file that does not have
an entry in the License File Database, by default
/var/flexlm/licensefile.db, a new entry is automatically
added to it.
6.9 _R_e_m_o_v_a_l__o_f__N_e_t_L_S__L_i_c_e_n_s_e__S_e_r_v_e_r
Starting with this release, the NetLS concurrent license
server software, which was distributed in the subsystem
license_eoe.sw.netls_server, will no longer be distributed
in the license_eoe product.
6.10 _R_e_v_i_e_w__O_p_t_i_o_n
When installing a license through a Web page or E-mail
attachment, the password dialog now provides a _R_e_v_i_e_w
option, which allows the user to view the license
installation file before installing.
