We've created a more consistent policy on how license features including borrowing, queuing and automatic server discovery
features work. Now, instead of enabling these features through API calls,
they are entirely controlled by environment variables. This allows the end-user to have more control without the need for the
software vendor to do additional work to implement the features.
The changes this enhancement has resulted in include:
- LMX_OPT_USE_ENV_PATH has been removed.
- The
LMX_Borrow and LMX_BorrowEarlyReturn functions have been removed and
replaced with the environment variable LMX_BORROW, which can be set by
the end user.
- The LMX_SetOption functions LMX_OPT_AUTOMATIC_SERVER_DISCOVERY and LMX_OPT_QUEUE have been removed. The environment variables LMX_AUTOMATIC_SERVER_DISCOVERY, LMX_BORROW, and LMX_QUEUE have been added to take the place of these functions.
|
LMX-665
|
Client
store files cannot be deleted from Java. To resolve this,
LMX_ClientStoreSave and LMX_ClientStoreLoad functions now use const char
*szString instead of const unsigned char *sString. |
LMX-685
|
Remove LMX_OPT_LICSERVICE functions LMX_OPT_LICSERVICE_URL,
LMX_OPT_LICSERVICE_PROXY_HOSTNAME, LMX_OPT_LICSERVICE_PROXY_PORT, LMX_OPT_LICSERVICE_PROXY_USERNAME, and LMX_OPT_LICSERVICE_PROXY_PASSWORD. Made these functions parameters of LMX_Licservice_GetLicense.
|
LMX-690
|
Remove support for JDK v1.4. This was necessary as part of improvements to the Java wrapper.
|
Enhancements
LM-X v3.6 includes the following enhancements.
Issue #
|
Description |
|
LMX-795 |
Added new section describing all LM-X logs in end-user guide. |
LMX-794
|
Change LMX_MAX_VERY_LONG_STRING_LENGTH to 256 long length instead of 32.
|
LMX-781
|
Change timeout time on the client from 5 seconds to 30 seconds.
|
LMX-775
|
Add new error codes for errors sending and receiving messages over network. |
|
LMX-721 |
Added new extended client-side log. This new log, enabled by the end-user, reports all events that occurred during checkout requests.
|
LMX-717
|
Added ability for lmxendutil to print information about blacklisted features.
|
|
LMX-660 |
Allow terminal server clients with trial licenses.
|
LMX-630
LMX-690
|
Java API wrapper improvements. The .NET and Java wrapper have been completely remade. Numerous improvements have been made to make them both richer and more consistent with the C/C++ API. In particular, the Java wrapper has been significantly reworked, making it possible to do many things that were not possible until now.
|
LMX-532
|
Provide log file rotation, the frequency of which can be controlled in the configuration file.
|
|
LMX-440 |
GetLicenseInfo should also return licenses set with SetOption (...license_string). |
LMX-330
|
Enable limiting a node-locked license to a single session using lock-files.
|
|
LMX-170 |
Add a single-user limit for node locked licenses. A single-usage license is
essentially a one-count floating license for a single host, but
eliminates the need to set up a license server. A single-usage license
can be enabled using the new keyword SINGLE as a share option. |
|
LMX-140 |
Support using multiple license servers simultaneously. The license client will automatically maintain the connectivity with more than one server at the same time, providing the flexibility to use multiple servers in cases where a checkout request involves checking out more than one feature. For example, for an application that consists of multiple features, a client can check out Feature1 from ServerA and Feature2 from ServerB.
|
LMX-89
|
A
new flag, LMX_OPT_BLACKLIST has been added to LMX_SetOption to enable
blacklisting of licenses. When a local license is blacklisted,
attempts to checkout a license will result in the error message
"Feature is blacklisted." When a network license is blacklisted,
attempts to checkout a license will be treated as if the license does
not exist.
