FlexNet Server

This term refers to the FlexNet Publisher (FNP) process, not to the computer on which the FNP license server runs. The FNP license server does not have to run on a network server computer or a file server computer. The administrator can restart the FNP license server without rebooting the computer on which the FNP license server runs.

An FNP license server manages FNP licenses and handles licensing requests from FNP client applications.

TOKEN Server

A FlexNet Publisher license server that manages the TOKEN license. Almost all the instructions for the IPASSI FlexNet license servers are applicable to their TOKEN counterparts.

FNP Daemon

This term refers to the generic FlexNet Publisher daemon lmgrd.exe. The IPASSI vendor-specific daemon for AVEVA is ipassi.exe. These two files comprise the execution part of the FNP license server.

FNP Client

This term refers to the FNP-licensed application. The client part of the FNP security is embedded in the application and serves as a medium through which the application communicates with the FNP license server for license validation. The FNP server and client can exist on the same or different computers.
