1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
The License Tools (_l_i_c_e_n_s_e__e_o_e) product contains tools which
support the installation and management of software
licenses. It includes _L_i_c_e_n_s_e _M_a_n_a_g_e_r, which is a graphical
tool used for installing and managing software licenses.
This product should be installed on systems running licensed
applications.
There are two software licensing systems: FLEXlm and NetLS
(Network License System). Both the FLEXlm and NetLS systems
support node-locked licenses (licenses which are specific to
one machine) and network (floating or concurrent) licenses.
A program which has been software-licensed requests a
license when invoked; if none is available, the program does
not execute. A software license is represented as a coded
text string which can be installed to enable a licensed
application to run on a target host.
For more information on software licensing, please refer to
the _F_L_E_X_l_m _E_n_d _U_s_e_r _M_a_n_u_a_l (in the
_l_i_c_e_n_s_e__e_o_e._b_o_o_k_s._F_L_E_X_l_m__E_U_M subsystem), and the LLLLiiiicccceeeennnnssssiiiinnnngggg
