all usage information into the report log. If you require up-to-the-minute reporting, you must send a reread
command to the License Server before generating a report.
A reread can be done using the LMTOOLS program or at the command line with the following command:
C:\Program Files\SAMwrap\lmutil lmreread -c C:\Program Files\SAMwrap\v8.2\FLEXwrap.lic
Now you can generate a license usage report using
FLEXnet Manager
.
Setting Up Fail Safe Modes
There are two instances when a wrapped application will be unable to obtain a license. You may want to allow a
wrapped application to run without a license in either or both of these instances:
•
Regular (License) Fail Safe Mode
—The Wrapper contacts the License Server, but all licenses for the
feature are checked out. Having failsafe mode specified in the license file allows the wrapped application to
run without a license. This mode relies on the Wrapper contacting the License Server.
•
License Server Fail Safe Mode
—The Wrapper is unable to contact the License Server, either because the
License Server is not running or because of a network problem. Having failsafe mode specified in the license
file and ensuring that the Wrapper can read a current local copy of the license file allows the wrapped
application to run without a license.
The topics in this section explain how to set up both license and License Server failsafe modes:
•
Setting Up Regular (License) Failsafe Mode
•
Setting Up License Server Failsafe Mode
Setting Up Regular (License) Failsafe Mode
In the case where the Wrapper can contact the License Server but all licenses for the feature are checked out, a
specification of failsafe mode in the
FEATURE
line for the wrapped application allows the wrapped application to run
without a license.
The Wrapper uses
port@host
in
swrapper.lf
to contact the License Server and learns from the License Server that,
although all licenses are checked out, failsafe mode was enabled in the license file. A denial is logged in the report
log, the Wrapper runs the application binary, and the usage of the wrapped application is not recorded.
