License File Processing on a License Server

When you install the license manager as part of a network installation, the installer processes your License File, adding two lines to the file: the SERVER line and the DAEMON line. These lines provide information about the location of the license server and daemon. The installer puts this processed version of the License File into the $MATLAB\flexlm folder.

The following is a sample of a processed License File. Note the addition of the SERVER and DAEMON lines at the top of the file.

SERVER Line

The SERVER line identifies the system on which the license manager is running, using the format

```
SERVER hostname HostID TCP_PortNumber
```

where

hostname is the name of your license server, i.e., the system on which the license manager is running.
hostID is the host ID of the license server. The host ID in the SERVER line must match the host ID in the comment section of the License File.
TCP_PortNumber specifies the TCP/IP port to use for communication with the daemons. Do not change this number unless you know it conflicts with other software. A valid port number is any unused port number between 0 and 64000. If no TCP/IP port number is specified, FLEXlm uses a port number in the range 27000 to 27009.

DAEMON Line

The DAEMON line identifies the name and location of the vendor daemon, using the format

DAEMON vendor vendor_daemon_path options=options_file_path

where

vendor is the name of the vendor daemon, MLM for The MathWorks.
vendor_daemon_path is the fully specified path to the daemon executable, for example, C:\MATLAB7\flexlm\mlm.exe.
options_file_path is the full path of the options file, for Named User licenses, for example, options=C:\MATLAB7\flexlm\MLM.opt.
