FlexLM License Server

The FlexLM license server is used by Sun Directory Services to manage licenses of various sizes. If you already have a license server in your network (version 4.1 or later), you can use it to serve Sun Directory Services licenses.

Sun Directory Services allows 1K (one thousand) entries before requiring a license. This is sufficient to install and initialize the directory. In any reasonable ISP application, however, more entries will quickly be required. Follow the directions in the Solaris for ISPs Installation Guide for acquiring a license key and configuring the server.

After it is installed, the FlexLM manual pages are located at /opt/SUNWste/licene_tools/man.
