A served license file begins with SERVER and VENDOR lines, followed by the INCREMENT and UPGRADE lines.
For example:
SERVER license_server_host 0123ABCD VENDOR SYBASE INCREMENT prodeg SYBASE 2.0 31-dec-2005 1 \ PLATFORMS="i86_n" ISSUED=01-jan-2005 \ BORROW=720 NOTICE="ACME CORP" SN=1-1010 \ TS_OK SIGN2= "AADD..."
The SERVER line contains the host ID (0123ABCD) of the license server machine (license_server_host), and the digital signature of the INCREMENT line is encoded using that host ID, so this license can be served only from that machine. The INCREMENT line does not contain a host ID, so the license can be served to any machine that can access this license server.
The served license example above shows one license to run one copy of version 2.0 or lower of the prodeg product on the Windows operating system (i86_n) until December 31st, 2005. The product can be used on any machine and the license can be borrowed from the license server for 720 hours of mobile use at a time.
