Summary

How do you add licenses to a local license server without a back-office server?

Question

Can you use the capability response example to install a license to a local server without using a back office server?

Answer

Technically, you don't need a back-office server, but not using one wouldn't be very practical from a production standpoint. I'd only suggest it for testing purposes.

To run a license server, you need to be able to load licenses into it. In a production environment, that would typically involve a back-office server (such as FlexNet Operations). In a testing environment, you could just use capresponseutil to generate your capresponse.bin file for upload into the server. For more information, look for the key word "Capability Response Utility" in the License Server Guide for whichever version you're using.

Please note that desired features have to be set in the code of the capability request example. Otherwise, how would the server know what to serve to the client? The client has to explicitly ask for the feature, version, and count via the FlxCapabilityRequestAddDesiredFeature API. Please search the documentation and capability request example for ?desired feature? for more information.
