Reserve activations for groups of host computers

Edit the Options file to organize host computers in a group and reserve activations for the group.

To reserve activations for groups of host computers:

1. Open the existing flexsvr.opt options file or create a new file.
2. Edit the Options file to include the following lines. Replace:
   • [name] with the name of the group of computers
   • [host] with the name of the computer to be included in the group. Specify as many computers as necessary.
   • [featurekey] with the name of the software application executable.
   • [count] with the number of activations to reserve.

     HOST_GROUP [name] [host1] [host2] [hostN]

     RESERVE [count] [featurekey] HOST_GROUP [name]

     For example:

     HOST_GROUP Plantadminpcs flooradminpc supervisorpc1 supervisorpc2 teamleadpc1 teamleadpc2

     RESERVE 5 RS5K_700.EXE HOST_GROUP Plantadminpcs.*

     The first line creates the group Plantadminpcs composed of 5 computers. The second line holds five activations for the Logix Designer application for use by computers that are members of the Plantadminpcs group.

3. Save the file with the name flexsvr.opt in the default folder.
4. From the Advanced tab, refresh the activation server.
