Options File

	file. However, there might be other license daemons managing other license
	files. lmgrd runs on the license host.
	` Vendor daemon (prold) — Works with lmgrd to dispense tokens. Each
	feature of a floating (development client) license has a limited number of
	tokens.
License Types	Two types of licenses are available with Prolifics; each type is specific to the
	component installed:
	` A Prolifics web application server uses a license type that allows for an
	unlimited number of application servers to run on a specific computer. The
	license does not require a license daemon. This type of license is referred to as
	node-locked uncounted.
	` Prolifics UNIX clients use floating licenses. This type of license is not
	associated with a particular machine, but is assigned by the license server to
	each Prolifics development client when the executable is run. This license type
	requires a license daemon.
	Note: Because a floating license is associated with the Prolifics development
	executable, and not with an actual machine, it is possible for a developer to
	use more than one license. For example, if a developer is running two Prolifics
	sessions simultaneously on one machine, the license manager assigns two
	licenses, not one.

Options File

The daemon options file allows you to customize Prolifics license usage at your site. The information in the file can specify such information as:

`Which users or groups of users can use Prolifics.

`Which messages will be included in the log file.

`How long a copy of Prolifics will remain idle before timing out.

There is no default location or name for the options file. If used, its name appears as the fourth argument on the DAEMON line of the license file license.dat, in the optional field options–file. If there are multiple DAEMON lines in the license.dat file, then there can be multiple options files, one for each DAEMON line. Not all of the lines in an options file refer to a feature, so the site administrator must set up separate options files in order to use the NOLOG and REPORTLOG features.
