Description

This patch adds support for collecting information about token
based FLEXlm licenses for SimpleFlex (polling only without
parsing license file) and in Flexlog2 (FLEXlm debug log and
flexpoller information).

Token support activated in both the "flex and "simple-flex"
objects in licpoll.conf, but for if any other custom flex
objects has been created, the following object must be added:

        token-based(Bool)="true"
        {
                max-licenses-token-based(Bool)="true"{}
        }

Also for FLEXlm debug based data support for token based 
licenses can be added, but here the object must be added
manually to each product that require this support. 

Add to any required "flexpoller.sources.<object>" the
following object:

        token-based(Bool)="true"{}

Note that AIX 4.x is not supported by this patch.

Supersedes Patch Description

Expand all

Patch 566 — FlexPoller debug adjustment
The patch adjusts the normal debug behavior of FlexPoller. After applying no notice messages will be
written in standard mode.
Patch 564 — licpoll bugfixes and token based licensing
Fixed bug when reading PACKAGES in FLEXlm license file. (When the
package had only one component, additional non-existing non-sense
components were also included.)

Fixed bug on handling of feature versions.

This patch adds token based licensing. To activate token based
licensing you need to add the following to licpoll.conf (unix), for
each flex product that requires it (Similar to "license-file" and
"offset", etc.)

token-based(Bool)="true"{}

NOTE: The patch does not support the following platform:

sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
Patch 536 — Handing parenthesis in display description for lmstat entires
Flexpoller now correctly handles parenthesis inside the "display"
part of the lmstat entry lines.
Patch 532 — Processing of licpoll input with feature name mixup
Fixed bug causing never-ending loop when a license for one feature was
reported checked out under the name of another feature.
Patch 519 — Fix on aggressive licpoll cleanup and collection
A cleanup function in licpoll could remove any *.tmp files under
/var/opt/openit/temp/, causing problems on servers. This cleanup
function has now been fixed.

The occurrence of parenthesis in the tty/display element reported by
lmstat (FLEXlm) caused a parsing error, resulting in loss of
data. This has now been corrected.
Patch 514 — Added support for IBM LUM offline usage
Added support in LicPoll for including offline usage from IBM LUM.
Patch 492 — Bug in flexpoller
Fixes a bug in flexpoller compiled for 5.2.2.1 and 5.3.
