I suggest that you talk to Globetrotter, and the lovely Susan Miller, who will pester you with email and phone calls in the hope that you will buy their product. After some study, you will come to the understanding that FLEXlm can be keyed to an almost arbitrary set of system features, but that it does so in such an ugly and inFLEXible fashion that most vendors using it will only accept one set of features per platform. > I think it should be invented at the first use, and stored in some > configuration file then.
