Question:
While trying to load licenses or response.bin file into LLS, error "LFS Feature mixes concurrent and metered models" was reported in LLS logs as shown in following screenshot. What does this error mean?
Answer:
The given error message is seen when we try to load a feature say (F1), which is linked to both concurrent and metered license model. LLS doesn’t allow/support this type of operation. For better understanding, use below steps to replicate the behavior:
-
Create a Product(P1) with feature (F1), version 1.0 and link it to a concurrent (which is not metered) license model.
-
Create another Product(P2) with same feature (F1), version 1.0 and link it to a metered license model.
-
Create an entitlement line item with product (P1) and another line item with product(P2).
-
Now map the above two line items to LLS Device in FlexNet Operations.
-
Download the license bin file from the FNO and now try to load them at LLS to see the error.
