6.2.7.5 EXCLUDE

EXCLUDE <product>
[user|host|group|host_group|internet|internet_group|project] <who>
or
EXCLUDE <product> noproject [id=nnn]

The EXCLUDE line prevents usage of a product by a particular user, host, group, host_group, IP address, or project. If you specify group, host_group, or internet_group, it must be defined by a GROUP or HOST_GROUP or INTERNET_GROUP line in the options file.

Alternatively, with noproject specified, checkout requests for product from users who do not have the RLM_PROJECT environment variable set will be rejected.

Portions of the INTERNET address can be specified with a '*' which matches any address, e.g., 172.16.7.* Note that INTERNET and INTERNET_GROUP are ineffective on RLM Cloud servers where the application is using HTTPS transport.

In all cases, the status returned to the user will be RLM_EL_ON_EXC - “User/Host on exclude list”.

If specified, the id applies this option to the license with an id of “nnn”.

Note: To use PROJECT the user needs to specify the project name in the environment variable RLM_PROJECT prior to starting the application. To use INTERNET, specify the internal (vs. external) IP address of the client machine.
