6.2.2 The License File

The license file contains information which configures the license servers and describes all the licenses granted from the ISV to their customer. License Files have three types of lines:

  1. HOST Lines that specify the license server host
  2. ISV Lines which specify the ISV's license server information, and
  3. LICENSE Lines which describe license grants from the ISV to the customer.

    Applications, License Servers and License Administration Tools locate the license file using The License Environment.

    Note: The license file cannot be placed in a path where any component of the pathname contains the ‘@’ character.
