The elementary license files are subsets of the licenses_combined file. Elementary license files are located in the install-directory/SUNWspro/license_dir directory on each application server (the default install-directory is /opt). License files for Sun WorkShop products have file names in the form sunpro.lic,n (for example, sunpro.lic,1). The n is a string, usually an integer, assigned during installation to identify a particular license file.
Sun WorkShop software checks the installation directory for licenses. The product software automatically looks for the elementary license file relative to where it was installed.
In a multiple independent license server configuration, application servers might be served by more than one license server. Each license server is represented by an elementary license file on the application servers. Each application server must contain at least one elementary license file. Each elementary license file contains the license server information and the product license.
