Hi all,
We are running a license server (v11.15) with 10 floating licenses ESRI Edition.
The number of users using FME Desktop are growing fast, even faster then the budget :-)
Among the users there are different profiles.
So we want to set up a pool of licenses per AD user group.
For example:
- primarly we want to create a pool of floating licenses professional edition that only members of specific Active Directory group can use
- beside that we want to create a pool of floating licenses ESRI edition preserved for members of an other active directory group
Is this possible? If yes, what's the configuration?
Thanks for sharing the knowledge,
Kind regards,
Francis
Hi Itay and followers,
At this moment everybody with fme desktop in our domain can access the license server with 10 floating esri licenses. We know the users and we are aware who is using the licenses.
I read the information onhttps://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Restricting_Licenses_to_Users_or_Groups.htm
And one thing is confusing me:
Any licenses reserved for a user are dedicated to that user. Even when that user is not actively using the license, it is unavailable to other users.
So i was still wondering:
如果你保留例如5浮点许可esri edition to an AD group with 10 members. Then I hope that all the members of the AD group can request one of the 5 floating licenses and that the license use is released when they stop working with it. And that the same license are not available for not members of the AD group.
Is this correct?
Hi, there seems to be a specific FlexLM Communicy, you can find it here:https://community.flexera.com/t5/Flexera-Software-Community/ct-p/Flexera_Software_Community?_ga=2.148010292.2091331673.1569525785-1827394814.1569525785
Hi@fbulco
You can achieve the desired result by creating aoptions file.You should be able to specific GROUP name in safe.opt file and use either use EXCLUDE or INCLUDE command for the features you want to block/allow.
Unfortunately, there is no way to automatically add ActiveDirectory Group, you have to do that manually. The detailed instructions should be in FlexaraLicenseAdministration.pdfdocument included with your floating license server manager.
The user names can be collected from safe.log file usuallyusername@domain.com
NOTE:
The command is as follows
INCLUDEfeaturename type name
You can also use MAX feature to control, how many users can have access with in a Group
MAX 3 feature1 GROUP
MAX 1 feature2 GROUP ALL_GROUPS
Hi@fbulco,
If using FlexLM as licensing server, you can use acommand lineexport the licenses usage, read it and see if it contains the information you need to merge with the AD users/groups
