The floating license SERVER line

Format of the SERVER line entry in license key file that is used to set up a license server.

The format for a SERVER line entry is shown below. Items in italics are specific to your environment:

SERVER host DISK_SERIAL_NUM=hostid

SERVER
Tells the server that the license file will be used for floating or counted authorized user licenses. This is required in a floating license file along with a VENDOR or DAEMON line.
host
The host name of the license server.

Allows the license server’s host name or IP address to populate the host name field in the SERVER line. Both values are allowed. The host name value is not encrypted into floating license keys.

hostid
The host ID of the license server.

The default value is the disk serial number (DISK_SERIAL_NUM) of the user’s boot drive. The host ID value is encrypted into floating license keys.
