Patch 460 — Fixed bug in license package handling

Fixed a critical bug in parsing of packages in FLEXlm license file.

Patch 452 — Fixed parsing problem for FLEXlm 11.3 license files

In PACKAGE lines, a field that was previously present in the license
file seems to have been removed. This could cause LicPoll to sometimes
discard components information.

Patch 410 — Fixes a bug in LicPoll when poll interval exceeds 5 minutes

If the poll interval for LicPoll was set to a value greater than 5 minutes,
LicPoll would terminate after just one poll (and not run the entire hour).

Patch 401 — Removes unnecessary warning when feature name differs in lmstat

Sometimes when lmstat command is run with port/server in the -c 
options instead of a license file it will return the result of
multiple license daemons running on the same server.

This "feature" caused licpoll to hang when monitoring license
files configured to use SimpleFlex.

When SimpleFlex now encounters a config dump it will assume all
features seen are part of the product (even if this inlcudes
the features from other products).

Patch 394 — Removes unnecessary warning when feature name differs in lmstat

A warning was written by licpoll everytime it encountered a difference
(case) when parsing feature names in lmstat output, i.e with seeing
something like this:

  Feature usage info:

  Users of feature1:  (Total of 20 licenses available)

    "Feature1" v1.0, vendor: psmld
    floating license

  lsf-arc solveig 193.217.12.14 (v1.0) (solveig/1700 1593), start Fri 2/18 15:21

("feature1" vs "Feature1"). It still parsed the lmstat output correctly but if
this occured often a lot of warnings would be written in the log file.

This updates removes this warning message.

Patch 382 — Fixes problem with LicPoll, parsing IBM LUM offline usage

LicPoll would fail to parse the IBM LUM license information correct
when there were offline usage.

Patch 371 — Remove serial number in LUM hostnames

This client updates parsing of LUM node names. Previously the
client was not able to separate serial number when seeing node
names like

  CAD-NODE-1.us(#194.19.77.134) Serial Number_ 72211XB1934

This updates makes sure the serial number is not part of the
hostname.

A patch for filtrator (#372) has also been made to retroactivly
remove the serial number in existing data (by regeneration).

Patch 351 — Run lmutil in license file directory

For some versions of lmutil running with the lmstat option on
a license file fails if the program is not run in the same
directory has the location of the license file. This updates
adds a temporary change of directory to the location of
the license file when running lmstat data collection.

Patch 340 — Small updates to licpoll

This patch installs a new licpoll binary that adds handling of
missing " in license.dat files. Such missing "'s would
previously cause licpoll to ignore the rest of the file).
