License File Sample for a Single or
Distributed Server Model
Following is an example of a completed license file
for a single or distributed server model.

If you are using a distributed server model, adding
the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to
each client workstation enables them to get a license
from another server, should the first server fail or
run out of licenses.
License File Sample for a Redundant Server
Model
Following is an example of a completed license file
for a redundant server model.

Note: The redundant server model requires the
addition of a port number (the default is 27005) for
each server.
The license file is required for using combustion on
a network. As a result, the license file must be located
on a network share that is accessible to every user
that runs combustion from a network installation.
License Types
combustion deployment on a network supports
two license types: Commercial and EDU/Institution
(designed for educational institutions). Both license
types enable permanent use of combustion.
combustion Communication with the
License Server
When combustion is running, it sends a
communication signal to the license server at regular
intervals. If the communication signal is missed, the
server tries to reconnect. If it cannot, it sends a
message to the user indicating the license error.
Once the user acknowledges the message, the user
can save the work in progress and can inform the
systems management of the problem.
When combustion stops working because it lost a
connection to the server, the user must shut down
combustion and restart the program. If the
problem causing the original loss of the
communication signal is resolved and there are
available licenses on the server, the program starts
working again.
Note: If you are using the redundant server model,
the communication signals are passed between
redundant servers.
