License file
A text file containing the
FEATURE
lines for all the applications under FLEXwrap
management. This file also contains information about where the License Server runs,
the location of the
swrap
daemon, and the location of the options file. The license file is
usually called
FLEXwrap.lic
or
license.dat
and is read by the License Server and,
under License Server failsafe mode, by the Wrapper.
License file
generator
The FLEXwrap program that allows the FLEXwrap license administrator at your site to
generate
FEATURE
lines for wrapped applications.
swsetup32.exe
or
swcrypter.exe
This program should be protected from execution by your general user community.
Otherwise, your users would be able to regenerate your license files, possibly
compromising the integrity of your license management system.
License key
The 12- or 20-digit authentication code on a
FEATURE
line in a license file. Also called
encryption code.
License server
The combination of one running
lmgrd
process and one running
swrap
vendor daemon
process that allows wrapped applications to request and obtain licenses.
License server
failsafe mode
A mode of operation that allows the Wrapper to run the wrapped application when the
FLEXwrap License Server is down or cannot be contacted. This mode is enabled by
specifying failsafe mode when the license is generated and making sure the license file
is accessible to the Wrapper even when the License Server is down. See
Setting Up
Fail Safe Modes
for more information.
License server
machine
A computer system that is running both
lmgrd
and the
swrap
daemon. A copy of the
license file will be on this machine, as will the FLEXwrap report log if turned on.
lmgrd
The license manager daemon process that starts the
swrap
vendor daemon and
directs the Wrapper to the
swrap
daemon:
lmgrd.exe
swrap
The FLEXwrap vendor daemon process that serves licenses to wrapped applications
and writes a report log that FLEXnet Manager uses to generate reports:
swrap.exe
Suite
A group of products sold by a software vendor where, according to the license
agreement, each individual product cannot be used independently of the product
suite.
