Important changes to temporary license installation
Starting with FLM 7.00, temporary licenses follow new rules. These changes apply only to licenses that use the new license numbering introduced in FLM 7.00:
- They work as temporary for 90 days from the creation date.
- You must activate the license within 90 days; otherwise, it stops working.
For more information, go to How Genero Licensing Works
Container licensing change
If you previously managed containers using an FLM server, note that containers now require a specific container license. This license must be installed when the container starts. Ensure your container startup process includes the license installation step. For details about the container license and its installation, refer to the Install and License your Genero Products guide
Changes to the Systemd service template
- The
User=andGroup=directives are added for dispatcher processes, allowing you to specify the user and group that run the dispatcher process. - SELinux-related directives are included in the template as commented-out examples for environments where SELinux is enabled and enforcing.
