Preface

This book gives an overview of the License Management Facility. It describes how to manage the licenses for MERANT Micro Focus licensed products (referred to in this guide as Micro Focus licensed products), and also what to do to set up and maintain the License Management Facility software.

Audience

This book is for a UNIX administrator. You are responsible for managing licenses and for setting up and maintaining. You need to be familiar with your operating system, but do not need programming skills.

Notation

Enter refers to the carriage-return or Enter key. Where commands to be typed are shown, the Enter key is not shown. It is treated as implicit that the Enter key must be pressed at the end of the line.

Command Lines

The notation used to describe the format of command lines is as follows:

Words printed in italics are generic terms representing names to be devised by you.
Words printed in nonitalic characters are the actual words you must enter. You must type them in upper or lower case as shown.
Square brackets [ ] mean the material inside them is optional.
All command line formats and examples are for the standard UNIX shell, the Bourne shell. If you are using another shell, see your UNIX documentation for the appropriate formats.
