6.2.2.4 ISV Line

ISV isvname [isv-binary-pathname [options-file-filename [port-number]]] 
[binary=isv- binary-pathname] 
[options=options-file-filename] [port=port-number] [password=password-text]

The ISV line specifies an ISV's license server. There is one ISV line in the license file for every isvname which has licenses in that file. Note that if a license file contains only nodelocked- uncounted licenses for a particular isv, an ISV line is not required for that ISV.


Parameter	Required	Description
`isvname`	Yes	The name assigned to the ISV - does not change.
`isvname`	Yes*	Location of the ISVs license server binary. Can be any accessible location. Not an input to license key signature algorithm so can be changed any time. * Can be omitted if ISV server is in same location as the RLM binary.
`options=options-file-filename`	No	Specifies whether an options file will be used (see: 6.2.7 The ISV Options File). Specify options file location here, or name the ISV options file isvname.opt and place in same directory as license file.
`port=port-number`	No	Specifies port ISV server will use. If omitted, port is allocated dynamically.
`password=password-text`	No	Specifies license password applied to all LICENSE or FEATURE lines which follow the ISV line in the license file. If individual LICENSE/FEATURE line has a password, password from LICENSE/FEATURE line is used.

Any of the optional parameters can be specified by themselves. Also note that any number of the positional parameters can be specified, and optional parameters can be added after the positional parameters.

Note: If you specify the same parameter both as a positional parameter and as a keyword=value parameter, the value of the keyword=value parameter will be used.

Examples:
