Mentor Standard Licensing Benefits

Mentor Standard Licensing (MSL) has many benefits, including a standard implementation of FlexNet licensing, a customized licensing environment, debugging capabilities, and tools to help with license configuration and management.

Standard implementation of FlexNet Licensing for Mentor applications: MSL provides a consistent licensing implementation across all Mentor products and product lines, facilitating the management of application environments.
Licensing environment customization: MSL enables system administrators to control connection timeouts, license file and licensing software locations, and access to specified licenses. For more information, refer to “Environment Variables for Licensing”.
Debugging capabilities: MSL writes license information regarding check-out and check-in, queue, denial, and server status to a log file on the license server and client environment and transaction information in the application environment. For more information, refer to “lmgrd” and “MGLS_DEBUG_LOG_DIR”.
Tools to help with license configuration and management: To test license availability, MSL provides the mgls_ok utility for Linux and the pcls_ok and mgls_ok utilities for Windows. MSL also supports standard FlexNet administration graphical user interface and command-line utilities. For more information, refer to “Utilities for Licensing”.
