Filter UMN1 Keys |
One or more UMN1 values |
In some rare scenarios (For example, client machines using RAID disks), the UMN1 value is not unique. In these cases, UMN1 value is being set as the model type of the client machine, rather than its disk serial number. As UMN1 is treated as a primary identifier for reinstallation requests, non-unique UMN1 values can lead to problems during reinstalls, returns and rehosts. In these cases, the machine identifier (MID) is a better host identifier. This parameter can be set to a comma separated list of UMN1 values. If the trusted storage activation request contains any of these values, FNO will ignore the UMN1 value and use the MID instead. |
|
|
|
Add default comment line in license file |
Yes or no |
For FlexNet license files containing non-ascii characters, the first line in the license file should be a comment line. This comment line is added by default by FlexNet Operations. If this comment line is causing issues with downstream applications, disable this setting. |
