Mcad AdminGuide book

[VENDOR]_LICENSE_FILE

 instead of 

LM_LICENSE_FILE

. 

By doing so, you can specify exactly which servers each application should query, 

rather than forcing each application to query each server, regardless of whether that 

server has the appropriate license. For example, if you wanted to use two servers to 

serve licenses for another application, but only one of those servers would serve 

Mathcad licenses, you would set the following two environment variables:

PTC_LICENSE_FILE=7788@Server1

 

[OTHERAPP]_LICENSE_FILE=27000@Server1;27000@Server2

 

This prevents Mathcad from querying Server2 for a license, since Server2 has no 

Mathcad licenses.

Tip

When using 

[VENDOR]_LICENSE_FILE

, remember that FLEXnet checks 

LM_LICENSE_FILE

 

before checking
