Standard license checkouts

By default, software on any machine able to connect to the CLC Network License Manager could request a license. This can be restricted, with fine grained configurations limited access to certain hosts, domains or users.

Rules that can be configured:

Option Argument Description
ALLOW_IPADDR_ALL One or more IP addresses Allow access to all features for the specified IP addresses.
ALLOW_IPADDR_<feature> One or more IP addresses Allow access to a specific feature for the specified IP addresses.
DENY_IPADDR_ALL One or more IP addresses Deny access to all features for the specified IP addresses.
DENY_IPADDR_<feature> One or more IP addresses Deny access to a specific feature for the specified IP addresses.
ALLOW_HOST_ALL One or more host names Allow access to all features for the specified host names.
ALLOW_HOST_<feature> One or more host names Allow access to a specific feature for the specified host names.
DENY_HOST_ALL One or more host names Deny access to all features for the specified host names.
DENY_HOST_<feature> One or more host names Deny access to a specific feature for the specified host names.
ALLOW_USER_ALL One or more users Allow access to all features for the specified users
ALLOW_USER_<feature> One or more uses Allow access to a specific feature for the specified users
DENY_USER_ALL One or more users Deny access to all features for the specified users
DENY_USER_<feature> One or more users Deny access to a specific feature for the specified users

In the example below, 2 clients on 2 subnets are allowed to connect to the license manager, and two users, alice and bob are allowed to connect. All others are denied access.

Example 1:

        ALLOW_IPADDR_ALL = 192.168.1.* 192.168.2.*
        ALLOW_USER_ALL = alice bob
        DENY_IPADDR_ALL = *.*.*.*

In the example below, machines with hostname 'lab1' or 'office1' are denied access to CLC Main Workbench licenses. Other clients on the internal network are allowed to request CLC Main Workbench licenses, but any others are denied access to CLC Main Workbench licenses.

Example 2:

        DENY_HOST_CLCMAINWB = lab1 office1
        ALLOW_IPADDR_CLCMAINWB = 192.168.*.*
        DENY_IPADDR_CLCMAINWB = *.*.*.*
