FLEXnet Standard Configuration for Sonnet Suites

The following is the standard configuration for Sonnet

Version	FLEXnet Licensing 11.14.1.3
License File	$SONNET_DIR/licenses/sonnet.lic
Option File	$SONNET_DIR/licenses/license.opt
Log File	$SONNET_DIR/log/flex*.log
Daemon Name	sonnetd
Time out default	15 minutes

Sonnet Suites uses FLEXnet Licensing 11.14.1.3. You must be cautious if you plan to combine Sonnet Suites with other vendor licenses. When combining license files, you must use a single license manager daemon (lmgrd). You can not use Sonnet Suites with an earlier version of lmgrd.

The Sonnet graphical tools, such as xgeom, and emvu, all have time-out enabled. If these programs are not used in 15 minutes, another user may check out the timed-out license. The default time-out period can be changed using the FLEXnet licensing TIMEOUT feature stored in the options file.

If the “sonnet.lic” file is stored in “$SONNET_DIR/licenses” directory, then all Sonnet programs internally set the SONNETD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to “$SONNET_DIR/licenses/sonnet.lic”. Therefore, the users do not have to set this environment variable. If the “sonnet.lic” file is moved to a different directory, then this variable must be set.
