Chapter 21: License-Enabling Packages Using FLEXwrap

Managing FLEXwrap License Files

FLEXwrap does not replace a built-in license manager. If you wrap an application that has a built-in license

manager, the application must obtain a license from FLEXwrap in order to try to ask for a license from its built-in

license manager. By enabling failsafe mode (such as allowing a wrapped application to run even if it cannot get a

license from a running license server), you can guarantee that a FLEXwrap License Server will never prevent the

application from getting to its own license manager.

license when the FLEXwrap License Server is running. This mode is enabled by

specifying failsafe mode when the license is generated. See
