By default the floating licenses are distributed first-come, first-served. That basically means that, if you have 100 licenses, the first 100 users that load animBot will get a license. Sometimes that might be problematic when having several teams being served from the same license server and the quantity of licenses are not enough for everyone. RLM enables a license administrator to setup some strict rules for those cases.<\/del><\/p>\n

For the sake of example, let’s say you have a total of 10 licenses and wish to reserve 1 for the “dev_team”, 3 for the “mighty_eagle_team”, 4 for the “fuzzy_wig_team” and the remaining 2 will be up for grabs to anyone in your internal network.\u00a0There are many ways to do that, but the 2 most common solution goes as follows.<\/del><\/p>\n

\n

1) Reserving licenses to teams.<\/del><\/h4>\n

That’s recommended if you wish to reserve a certain number of licenses to an entire team(s), no matter the individuals pertinent to those teams. You can think of a “project” being a team in your company. Please do the following:<\/del><\/p>\n

a) Download this simple text file named “animbot.opt<\/a>” and place it on the same directory that the “animbot.set” is located (refer to the installation steps if you need to<\/a>).<\/del>
\nb) For our example, the animbot.opt should contain this:<\/del><\/p>\n

RESERVE 1 enterprise project dev_team<\/del>
\nRESERVE 3 enterprise project mighty_eagle_team<\/del>
\nRESERVE 4 enterprise project fuzzy_wig_team<\/del><\/p>\n

c) Set the env variable RLM_PROJECT to the users environment pertinent to those teams:<\/del><\/p>\n

RLM_PROJECT = “dev_team”<\/del>
\nRLM_PROJECT = “mighty_eagle_team”<\/del>
\nRLM_PROJECT = “fuzzy_wig_team”<\/del><\/p>\n

d) Restart your license server and make sure users restart Maya.<\/del><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

2) Reserving licenses to specific users.<\/del><\/h4>\n

That’s recommended if you wish to reserve licenses to certain individuals or to a group of individuals. Please do the following:<\/del><\/p>\n

a) Create a simple text file named “animbot.opt<\/a>” and place it on the same directory that the “animbot.set” is located (refer to the installation steps if you need to<\/a>).<\/del>
\nb) For our example, the animbot.opt should contain this:<\/del><\/p>\n

GROUP dev_team john paul george richard<\/del>
\nRESERVE 1 enterprise group dev_team<\/del><\/p>\n

GROUP mighty_eagle_team peter callum alan robert magda<\/del>
\nRESERVE 3 enterprise group mighty_eagle_team<\/del><\/p>\n

GROUP fuzzy_wig_team carol amanda nick andre maggy sandy<\/del>
\nRESERVE 4 enterprise group fuzzy_wig_team<\/del><\/p>\n

c) Restart your license server and make sure users restart Maya.<\/del><\/p>\n

Note that in this method, you don’t need to specify any env variable, however you need to specify the username of each user.<\/del><\/p>\n
