EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT

This excludes a user or predefined group of users from 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

EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT entitlementId type {name | group_name}

Term	Description
entitlementId	The authorization number for the license you want to restrict usage of
type	One of the following: USER, HOST, GROUP, HOST_GROUP
name	Name of an item of type above for which license usage is excluded
group_name	Name of the group to exclude (Group names are case sensitive.)

Example:

To exclude user pete from the list of users who can borrow an ArcGIS 3D Analyst license that has an authorization number of EFL123456789, this is the option line:

EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT EFL123456789-1010 USER pete

Note:

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 10.1-10.4 or have authorized version 10.0 licenses on your 10.4.1 License Manager), you should omit "-1010" from the example.

Important Information:

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

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

• EXCLUDE or INCLUDE 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.
