Directly Obtaining Commuter Licenses
Before your network users check out commuter licenses, they should make
sure of the following:
- The portable computer
must have a copy of the licensed application installed and ready to use.
Remember, the application must be able to run off the network.
- The system is connected
to the network.
- Has network access to
the appropriate License Manager. (You do not need to set the lshost file
or LSHOST or LSFORCEHOST environment variables to contact a specific License Manager because your user will be able to request a specific License Manager
when using the commuter licensing utility).
- Has access to the Wcommute or lcommute
utility.
- WCommute is a Windows-interface utility for checking out and
checking in the commuter licenses.
- lcommute is a command-line utility
for UNIX or Windows.
If Hard Disk Serial is being used as a local locking criteria for commuter licenses, administrative privileges are required to check-out such licenses using WCommute/lcommute or WRCommute/rcommute utilities.
- If the License Manager is set up on a dual stack machine, then both IPv4 and IPv6 clients can checkout a commuter token from it.
- If the License Manager is set up in pure IPv6 environment, then only IPv6 clients can checkout a commuter token.
- If the License Manager is set up in pure IPv4 environment, then only IPv4 clients can checkout a commuter token.
- The commuter token can be checked in only in the mode (IPv4 or IPv6) in which it was checked out even if the License Manager is set up on a dual stack machine.
