6.2.2.2 Order of lines in the license file

In general, the order of lines in the license file does not matter, with the following exceptions:

• For an ISV/DAEMON line which specifies a password, all LICENSE/FEATURE lines following the ISV/DAEMON line which do not specify a password will use the password of the ISV/DAEMON line which precedes it. If the ISV/DAEMON line follows the LICENSE/FEATURE line, the password will not apply to that LICENSE/FEATURE.
• LICENSE/FEATURE lines are processed in the order they appear in the license file. This means that you can bias the selection of licenses by the order they appear in the license file. For example, if you have licenses for product ABC versions 1.0 and 2.0, and your software requests version 1.0, the license you receive will depend on the order: if the 2.0 license appears first in the license file, and it is available, your application will receive a v2.0 license. If the v1.0 license appears first and it is available, you will receive a v1.0 license.
