General configuration

Below are descriptions of configuration options that specify the environment of the license manager, paths to various files, and the administration password.

TCP_LISTEN_PORT This option defines the TCP port number that the license manager will use to listen for connections. The TCP port is used for the data traffic protocol.

The default TCP port is 6200, but can be changed by editing the TCP_LISTEN_PORT setting.

TCP_LISTEN_PORT = 6200

A separate UDP port is used for automatic server discovery protocol. The UDP port is fixed to 6200. It cannot be changed.

LICENSE_FILE Specify the path to a license file to be read by the server. The filenames must be lowercase. You can specify one or multiple paths as needed.

By default, all licenses in the folder called licenses in the installation area of the CLC Network License Manager will be read.

Examples:

LICENSE_FILE = d:\server\network.lic
LICENSE_FILE = /home/licserver/floating_license.lic
LICENSE_FILE = /home/licserver/floating_license2.lic

REMOTE_ACCESS_PASSWORD Specify the remote administration password which is used when remotely stopping and restarting the license manager, and when carrying out administration tasks via graphical client, described in The LM-X Graphical License Server Client. We recommend this password is changed from its default value.

The password is case-sensitive.

Example:

REMOTE_ACCESS_PASSWORD = MyPassword123

LOG_FILE Specify where the log file should be written to.

If you do not specify this setting, the log file is written to the default location. See The license manager log file.

If editing this entry, the absolute path to the log file is recommended.

Examples:

LOG_FILE = c:\program files\licenserver.log
LOG_FILE = /var/log/licenseserver.log

LOG_EXCLUDEExclude specific messages from the log. The following messages can be excluded:
CHECKOUT, CHECKIN, STATUS, BORROW, BORROW_RETURN, REMOVE_USER, REMOTE_RESTART or REMOTE_SHUTDOWN.

Example:

LOG_EXCLUDE = CHECKOUT, CHECKIN, STATUS
