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.
The patch adjusts the normal debug behavior of FlexPoller. After applying no notice messages will be written in standard mode.
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
Flexpoller now correctly handles parenthesis inside the "display" part of the lmstat entry lines.
Fixed bug causing never-ending loop when a license for one feature was reported checked out under the name of another feature.
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.
Added support in LicPoll for including offline usage from IBM LUM.
Fixes a bug in flexpoller compiled for 5.2.2.1 and 5.3.
