INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT

INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT includes a user or predefined group of users in the list of who is allowed to borrow concurrent use licenses or authorize enterprise single use licenses from a license manager. EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT supersedes INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT.

Usage

INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT entitlementId type {name | group_name}

Term

Description

entitlementId

The entitlement ID used when requesting a license activation

type

One of the following: USER, HOST, GROUP, or HOST_GROUP

name

Name of an item of type above for which license usage is included

group_name

Name of the group to include (Group names are case sensitive.)

Example:

To include user pete in the list of users allowed to borrow an ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension license that has an authorization number of EFL123456789, this is the option line:

INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT EFL123456789-1010 USER pete

NoteNote:

The above example is applicable only for license versions 10.1 or newer. For ArcGIS 10.0 License Manager or in any scenario where 10.0 licenses remain on a 10.1 or newer License Manager (for example you did not upgrade your 10.0 licenses to 10.1-10.8 or have authorized version 10.0 licenses on ArcGIS License Manager 2024.0), you should omit "-1010" from the example.

NoteNote:

Please review Technical Article 12134 for further information on the use of the INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT keyword.

Important Information:

We recommend not combining INCLUDE + INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT (or EXCLUDE + EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT) in the same options file. Concurrent use licenses should be user-restricted with:

• INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT or EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT if license administrators wish to restrict only borrow.

• INCLUDE or EXCLUDE if license administrators wish only to restrict concurrent licensing, but not borrow.

FlexNet Publisher does not currently support the user restriction of the borrow and concurrent use check-out portions of a concurrent use license separately.
