Installing VSN License Management on Unix Servers
=================================================
VSN License Management uses the FLEXlm software produced by Macrovision Inc.
(http://www.macrovision.com). The FLEXlm license server can be installed
on one platform (eg a Unix server) and serve licenses to various applications
running on the same or other platforms connected via a local area network.

The network administrator is referred to the FLEXlm End Users Guide, in particular
section 1.6 for details of installing FLEXlm. In many cases, it is expected
that FLEXlm is already present on the system and merely needs additional license
keys for the VSN applications.

An online copy of the FLEXlm End Users Guide is supplied with your product
CD-ROM or download, in FLEXlm\License\htmlman\flexuser\TOC.htm.

License Requests
================
Please supply the following information when requesting a license key:
1. hostname. This is obtained by running the command "hostname" on the server.
2. hostid. This is obtained by running the command "lmutil lmhostid" on the server.
3. Site Reference. This is the VSN Site Reference number, e.g. VSGE7K

The license request should be submitted to support@vsn-intl.com 

Notes Specific to VSN application licensing
===========================================
1. The vendor daemon is called VSN
2. The vendor daemon is constructed with FLEXlm v9.5. You may need to update
   your FLEXlm binaries (lmgd, lmutil). Version 9.5 binaries are supplied.
3. The FEATURE lines use a version code that is based on support expiry date.
   For example, if your support expires during November 2005 the code will be
   0511 and the key will be valid for any version or upgrade issued before the
   end of that month.

The following Unix versions are currently supported:

i86_n3		Windows running on Intel 32-bit processors
i86_r6		Linux, Redhat 6 running on Intel 32-bit processors
sun4_u5		Sun Solaris 32-bit
