Setting up licenses
Setting up shared licenses
If you are installing shared licenses, you must designate a system as the license server host. The program that
allows users to share licenses runs on this system. The license server host can be the system on which you installed
FrameMaker or any other system on your network.
Setting up workgroups for shared licenses
If you purchase several sets of group licenses (for example, one set of 10 licenses and another set of 20 licenses),
you can choose to install each set of licenses as a separate workgroup. Each workgroup will have its own license
server, licenses file, and other supporting licensing files.
There are many advantages to setting up multiple workgroups. You can control access to FrameMaker for
individual persons or departments. (Set up one workgroup for an engineering department, another for finance,
and a third for marketing and control access for each department.)
You can also set up several workgroups where all users have access. Doing this gives you several license servers
instead of just one. The benefit is that if one of the license servers is problematic, users can get licenses from
another server.
When you have multiple workgroups, you install the licensing information for each workgroup in a separate
directory. Use standard UNIX permissions to control access to workgroup licensing files.
