The LSHOST environment variable is used on a computer that is running
a protected application. It tells the application one or more License Manager computers to contact.
When this variable is not set then the application will perform a broadcast
for any License Manager that can authorize the application to run.
When the variable is set, the application will send directed call to
the License Managers that are in the LSHOST list along with broadcast to the network.
The application will traverse the list of responded License Managers beginning
at the first License Manager in the list and moving down the list. If none
of the specified License Managers is found, then the application will pick
the first License Manager that responded to broadcast. The wait for License Manager
response time when LSHOST is set is same as broadcast interval.
Separate License Manager host names with a tilde (~).
A colon (:) was used to separate License Manager host names up to RMS v8.2.x (Windows) and 8.4.x (UNIX).
For example:
Windows |
SET LSHOST=ACCT_SERVER~FINANCE_SRV
|
Tells licensed applications to send
license requests first to ACCT_SERVER
and thereafter FINANCE_SRV |
UNIX |
export LSHOST=ACCT_SERVER~FINANCE_SRV
