This section is for users installing a permanent license, as FlexNet is not used with demo licenses.
FlexNet is used by many UNIX software packages because it provides a simple and flexible method for controlling access to licensed software. A single FlexNet license server daemon can handle licenses for many software packages, even if those packages come from different vendors. This reduces the system’s administration load because you do not need to install a new license manager every time you get a new package.
