What are the alternatives/similar alternatives to FLEXLM_TIMEOUT?
Discussion
The only similar alternative to FLEXLM_TIMEOUT is LM_A_CONN_TIMEOUT, which is an attribute set in your application (usually within the checkout call).
According to page 108 of the C/C++ Function Reference guide (please see attached PDF), the LM_A_CONN_TIMEOUT attribute defines the maximum time (in seconds) the client would wait to receive a response after sending a single request to the license server. This attribute allows publishers to change the default timeout value, if needed.
Note ? The timeout should not be increased too much from its default value as this will affect client performance in bad network conditions, and in such scenarios, publisher may wish to perform some experiments to determine a suitable timeout value. The trade-off is small values results in better client performance but large values result in decreased probability of clients being timed out.
