How do you restrict activations from a license server?

Synopsis

This article describes the method of using the Options file to restrict certain ip addresses from activating from a license server.

Discussion

To stop activation from a license server you can use the EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT keyword in the options file, e.g.:

XCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT 2885-9c83-12ad-1f30-18a7-ff9 HOST 10.50.*.*

This stops any clients within the ip range of 10.50.*.* of activating a license from the license server.

There is a corresponding keyword INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT to include groups into activation.
