Reserved Licenses
This License Server Reserved Licenses utility allows the license administrator to create a list of reserved licenses. Creating this list will ensure that specific users and users on specific machines will always have access to a license. It can also be used to restrict access to any user that is not on the list. Note: This utility must be run on the remote license server.
What are reserved licenses?
Reserved licenses are specified by any combination of User Name, Machine or Mac Address with an optional Expiry Date. There are a few rules to keep in mind when specifying a reserved license.
- Only one field needs to be specified. For example if you wish to give a reserved license to user "jsmith" you only need to specify the User Name, and not the Machine or Mac Address. This way "jsmith" can access the software from any machine and be guaranteed a license.
- All fields are checked when looking for a reserved license. For example if you give a reserved license to user "jsmith" on machine "machine1" the user will only be able to use the reserved license if they are running on "machine1".
- The optional expiry date is used in conjunction with the
other fields to restrict access to a specified date.
How does the license server determine who gets a license?
The license server determines who gets a license by performing the following steps in sequence.
- When a user attempts to open SeisWare, it will try
and find a match for the user in the list of reserved licenses. The
server attempts to match the User Name, Machine and Mac Address of the user
requesting the license.
- If a reserved license is found, it will check to see if
there is an expiry date for the license. If there is an expiry date and
the license is expired the request will be denied.
- If there is no reserved license for the request, the license server attempts to get a license from the remaining free pool of licenses.
