License Authorization Process
After configuration, the license server reads the license file. The name and location of this file can be set using the license server options. The license server reads the file from start to finish, processing each license code in order. All additive license codes add to the licensing rights already processed. All exclusive codes override all previously read codes and any future additive codes.
If the license server cannot find the license file, it will continue to run. When a license server is running it can also accept license codes across the network from other programs such as lslic. A server will process each received code as if it has just been read from the license file. The license server will also add the license code to the end of the license file if this was requested.
