Tip:

Default locations of the license controller configuration files are shown. You can set the location of these files by using the FGLLICENSE or GRELICENSE environment variables.

Configuration files are in the INI format. Configuration entries are in the format name-of-resource=value. They are grouped under the following categories:

[server]
[license]
[log]

Categories are enclosed in square braces ([ ]). You can write entries under the categories or write them including the category name using dot notation. For example, these entries are the same:

```
[server] 
host=localhost
```
```
server.host=localhost
```

If a resource contains a dot, for example, server.host, the license manager ignores the category name ([server]) if present.

For values you need to specify, you can provide these in quotes, but quotes are not needed unless the value contains spaces. Quotes can be added or omitted in values without spaces.

[server]
host="amon"

You can comment out resources or add comments by writing a pound sign (#) or semi-colon (;) before the text or resource.

 # This is a comment
 ; This is a comment too

Entries that enable or disable features take boolean values. If you uncomment a resource that takes a boolean value, it is the same as activating the resource. For example in the log configuration section, these entries are the same:

[log]
enabled            # Enable logs, equivalent to enabled=true, default false

[log]
enabled=true       # Enable logs, default false

Example 1: fgllicense license controller configuration file

These entries configure the license controller. You can enable logs for output to file, syslog (UNIX® only ), and console, or any combination of those options.

Warning:

The syslog feature can not be enabled on Windows®.
