The FLM provides a global solution for controlling Four Js product licenses.
One license manager can manage various types and versions of Four Js products for an entire
network. The license manager can manage Four Js products installed on the same machine as the
License Manager or on machines on the same network as the License Manager.
Note: Licensing for
Genero Report Writer for Java, C# and PHP must be managed locally as it can not be managed by the
License Manager.
Tip: While you can use a license manager for Genero Mobile, the Genero
Mobile license is an individual license and there is no need to use a license manager. You would
only consider using the FLM for Genero Mobile if you already use it with an existing Genero
installation.
License Manager Overview
The FLM provides the following licensing features:
- The license manager simplifies the updating of licenses and centralizes license management for a
pool of Four Js Dynamic Virtual Machines (DVMs) without affecting performance.
- The license manager supports the sharing of licenses for different versions of a Genero product,
or different Genero products of the same type with the same license extensions (i.e. specific
conditions of the license, but not including temporary licenses), as long as your maintenance
contract is up to date.
- Installing Genero products on a Remote File Systems (such as NFS or Samba) with a local license
is not supported, you must use an FLM configuration instead.
- For more examples of how you can use the FLM to manage license users more effectively, please
see the Scenarios topic.
