- Registering the host computer with the license server
  Before you can run a licensed feature, the computer where the feature is installed must register with the license server. Registering the computer’s host name enables Link to obtain the licenses required to run licensed features on that computer.
- License feature names
  The license names of the Link features display in the entitlement on the license server and in the messages that the runtime servers log. The feature names are also keywords of the dtxlicutil -view command.
- License allocation and persistence
  A license is required for each logical processor on the host computer where the licensed feature runs. The number of logical processors is the number of physical processors, or cores, multiplied by the number of virtual processors.
- License availability and usage
  An entitlement must have enough licenses available for the number of logical processors on the requesting host. If there are not enough available licenses for all logical processors, the request fails and the host does not acquire any licenses.
- License status on the host computer
  The dtxlicutil -local command displays the licenses that the host computer currently has. The available count and maximum count reflect the number of logical processors on the host computer, so the values for a single host are always the same.
- Releasing licenses
  Use the dtxlicutil -release command to release the licenses of all features from a host computer. The licenses return to the entitlement pool, where they are available for other hosts to acquire.
- Acquiring licenses
  After a host computer releases a license, you can request the license again by running the dtxlicutil -acquire command on the host...
- Troubleshooting license errors
- The dtxlicutil command
  The dtxlicutil command works with the licensed features of LNK Link. Use it to register a computer with a license server, acquire or release licenses, and display details about license usage for an entitlement.

License management

A licensed LNK Link feature must have a valid license to run. An Link feature license comes from your company’s pool of licenses on the license server (your company’s entitlement).

These runtime servers share a single license:

LNK Link Command Server
LNK Link API

LNK Link Packs each have a unique license:

LNK Link Pack for Financial Payer
LNK Link Pack for Healthcare
LNK Link Pack for SAP
LNK Link Pack for Supply Chain

A license is required to run the Command Server, to invoke the Link API, or to run a map that uses a schema from a licensed Pack. When a runtime license is not available, the Command Server does not start, and maps that an application invokes through the Link API don’t run. When a Pack license is not available, maps that use a schema from a licensed Pack don’t run.

You don’t need a license to run a map on Design Server if you don’t intend to invoke the Link API.
