administrator added ten new GeoMedia Professional 6.0 licenses and twenty GeoMedia 6.0 licenses. The management team has made the following requests: o The Admin group need to have two GeoMedia Professional 6.0 licenses available to them at all times. o o The Maintenance group needs three GeoMedia licenses available at all times. Two common systems need to always have a license available for GeoMedia and GeoMedia Professional. For this example, here are the contents of the license file as it resides on the server: SERVER 129.139.149.159 INTERNET=129.139.149.159 VENDOR INGR USE_SERVER # INCREMENT GeoMedia_Professional INGR 5.2 30-jun-2004 5 \ 2F60C6293318 ISSUER="Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial \ Solutions" ck=59 ## INCREMENT GeoMedia_Professional INGR 6.0 30-jun-2005 10 \ 2F60C6293318 ISSUER="Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial \ Solutions" ck=57 ## INCREMENT GeoMedia INGR 5.2 30-jun-2005 20 6BD10168398F \ ISSUER="Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions" ck=54 Here is an example of the INGR.opt options file: TIMEOUTALL 180 BORROW_LOWATER GEOMEDIA_PROFESSIONAL:VERSION=6.0 5 # GROUP ADMIN cewoodbu rsbandha rcbooth GROUP MAINTAINENCE bbilly jlriddle bjbeckma HOST_GROUP HG1 123.456.789.123 122.223.32.25 # RESERVE 3 GeoMedia_Professional:VERSION=6.0 GROUP ADMIN RESERVE 3 GeoMedia GROUP MAINTAINENCE RESERVE 2 GeoMedia HOST_GROUP HG1 In this options file, the first line sets the timeout. This ensures that licenses are not held very long if the application fails. The BORROW_LOWWATER parameter ensures that there will be at least five GeoMedia Professional 6.0 licenses available on the server. Three groups have been set up. The Maintenance group and the Admin groups both have three members. The usernames specified are network usernames. Do not use domain qualification here. The host group is made up of the addresses from two different systems. In the RESERVE section, three GeoMedia Professional 6.0 licenses are reserved for the Admin group, three GeoMedia licenses are reserved for the Maintenance group, and two GeoMedia licenses are reserved for the HG1 group.

3. Configuring Client Systems Prior to the release of 6.0, all GeoMedia applications had specific requirements regarding license files. This is no longer the case. Individual license files are no longer required, and the name of the client license file can be anything with a *.lic extension. There is a default location for license files, but users can customize this to suit their needs. For corporate users, there is no requirement at all for a local file. The only requirement for the client is to indicate the location of the license server. FLEXlm provides the following two variables that can be used by the client to locate the license server: o o LM_LICENSE_FILE – Global license file location. This applies to all applications using FLEXlm, regardless of the vendor. If you are using applications from only one vendor, you can use this variable. Otherwise, it may cause some applications to work and others to fail. _LICENSE_FILE – Vendor license file location. For GeoMedia applications, this is called INGR_LICENSE_FILE. All applications utilizing the INGR vendor daemon will look for their licenses in the locations specified here. Using this variable will ensure that you do not interfere with the operation of other FLEXlmbased applications. Either variable can be used; however, only INGR_LICENSE_FILE will be set up automatically during installation. Both variables can be set in the registry under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager or as local environment variables. The information in the following sections refers to INGR_LICNESE_FILE, but the same information applies if you are using LM_LICENSE_FILE. 3.1 Basic Configuration GeoMedia applications look for licenses using the variable INGR_LICENSE_FILE, which can be set in the registry, as a local environment variable, or both. This variable may contain the path to the directory containing the license files, the full path to a specific license file, the DNS name of the license server, or any combination thereof (using a semicolon as a delimiter). The three most common ways to use this variable are listed below: o In the registry under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager. Set the variable INGR_LICENSE_FILE to the location of the client license file. This is the default and requires a client license file that points to the license server.
