After configuration, the License Manager reads the license file. The
name and location of this file can be set using the License Manager options.
The License Manager reads the file from start to finish, processing each
license code in order.
All additive and aggregate license codes add to the licensing
rights already processed. All exclusive codes override all previously
read codes and any future additive codes. Aggregate licenses which have start dates set in the future can still be loaded onto the License Manager, however, they cannot be requested or aggregated until their start date has been reached.
If the License Manager cannot find the license file, it will continue
to run. When a License Manager is running it can also accept license codes
across the network from other programs such as lslic. The License Manager will process
each received code as if it has just been read from the license file.
The License Manager will also add the license code to the end of the license
file if this was requested.
