Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual page 535

Because multiple license certificates can exist in an envelope, envelopes
allow you to install several license certificates at the same time.
Envelopes can contain an embedded activation key for license
certificates.
A sample envelope file is 4234171D.NLF.
License Container object—An object in eDirectory; contains one or
more License Certificate objects.
A License Container object is a special container object in eDirectory.
(Other container objects include [Root] or Tree, Country, Organization,
and Organizational Unit.)
License Container objects are named using publisher, product, and
version. For example, Corel* WordPerfect* version 9 could appear as
follows in a tree:
When you install a license certificate or create a metered certificate, NLS
creates a License Container object and a License Certificate object. (If a
license container already exists, NLS places the additional license
certificate in that existing container.)
Using iManage, you can view License Container objects as they appear
in the eDirectory tree.
Licensing model—The way a vendor allows its customers to use its
licensed products.
NLS can support many models of licensing. For example:
Nonconcurrent connections in BorderManager
Server Connection Licensing (SCL) in NetWare 4 and NetWare 5
User Access Licensing (UAL) for Novell Cluster Services
NetWare 6
For information about the licensing model for the product that you use,
refer to the product-specific documentation.
