The network license file you receive from Autodesk contains licensing information required for a network installation. You obtain license file data when you register your Autodesk product.
The license file contains information about network server nodes and vendor daemons. It also contains an encrypted digital signature that is created when Autodesk generates the file.
The license file is located in a network location that you specify in the Deployment wizard. That network location must be accessible to every user who runs the product from a network installation.
The following table defines each license file parameter.

PLIST |
If there is an INCREMENT PLIST parameter in the license file, it defines the priority of license usage when the same feature code exists on an INCREMENT line. Updated PLIST information is ignored in a distributed license server environment. Periodically, Autodesk might update the PLIST information in a network license file.For instance, you have an existing license file containing PLIST information residing on the first server of a distributed license server environment. If you purchase another Autodesk product with a license file containing updated PLIST information, and it resides on a different server in the distributed server environment, the older PLIST data from the first server is recognized instead of the newer PLIST data. To make sure the updated PLIST file is read obtain a new license file from Autodesk that contains the latest PLIST information. Alternatively, you could add the updated PLIST to the first server in the distributed license server environment to make sure that it is always read.

VENDOR_STRING |
License usage type and license behavior of the product that is supported by the license file.
