The license administrator can control which users may use a certain license, or how many licenses a user may use at the same time. This is also controlled through the "ISV options file" See the manual http://www.reprisesoftware.com/RLM_License_Administration.pdf for details. An INCLUDE line in the ISV options file states that a certain module can only be used by the defined users, e.g. with

INCLUDE elastodict user joe

only the user “joe” may use the module ElastoDict.

An EXCLUDE line in the ISV options file states that a certain module cannot be used by the defined users, e.g. with

EXCLUDE elastodict user charlie

the user “charlie” is not allowed to use the module ElastoDict.

A GROUP line in the ISV options file defines a group of users, and the group can then be used to define access rights for the whole group:

GROUP departmentA charlie joe john 

INCLUDE elastodict group departmentA

A MAX line in the ISV options file defines the maximum number of licenses a certain user or group may use, e.g. the line

MAX 4 elastodict-processes user joe

limits the number of parallel ElastoDict processes that the user “joe” can use to 4.

These options can be used to reserve some licenses for certain departments or user groups. A license administrator can modify the ISV options file at any time. To apply the updated file, click Reread/Restart for the m2m ISV server in your RLM web interface.

Be aware that there are several more options available, e.g. it is possible to restrict the usage to certain IP addresses or hostnames. For a reference of all options confer the “ISV Options File” section in the RLM License Administration manual.
