Sometime we need to allocate certain number of feature for different group of users. LAM, which is product of Flexera, has a capability to limit and/or allocate certain feature of license to particular group of user based on their operating system user name and/or hostname.

As quick an example, these steps will guide us to limit Landmark’s license feature:
1. Refer the configuration file in the license.dat

1
DAEMON licsrv C:\landmark\LAM5000\bin\licsrv C:\Landmark\LAM5000\licsrv.opt

2. Create configuration file as follow:

01
# usage report
02
#REPORTLOG +C:\Landmark\LAM5000\licsrvreport.log
03
DEBUGLOG +C:\Landmark\LAM5000\licsrvdebug.log
04
 
05
# Configuration
06
GROUPCASEINSENSITIVE ON
07
 
08
# Define grouping, based on Computer name and/or User name
09
HOST_GROUP grpserver dohaserver
10
HOST_GROUP grpclient jakartaclient
11
GROUP grpadmin 32547 32548
12
 
13
# Reserve a license feature to particular group
14
RESERVE 1 EDM HOST_GROUP grpclient 
15
RESERVE 1 EDM HOST_GROUP grpserver
16
RESERVE 1 OPWPACKAGE GROUP grpadmin
17
 
18
# to limit a specific user/group
19
MAX 1 EDM GROUP grpadmin

The above configuration file will create 2 group based on hostname and 1 group of username, reserve a license to particular group, and limit the number of license feature for particular group.
