Every LM-X protected application has a search path for licenses. The application will search for licenses in the following order:
1. Preset path and/or automatic server discovery (this information is provided by your application vendor).
2. The environment variable VENDOR_LICENSE_PATH. The VENDOR name is the same as that specified in the license file.
3. The generic environment variable LMX_LICENSE_PATH, which is used by all applications protected by LM-X.

At each step, if no license is found in the specified source, the application will continue to the next source in the path, as shown in the table above. You may specify unlimited multiple paths if desired; for example, LMX_LICENSE_PATH=6200@server1;6200@server2;6200@server3. The protected application stops searching as soon as it finds a valid license.
Note: To optimize license utilization, LM-X will attempt to use local licenses before it tries to use counted network licenses.
