Introduction

When a feature contains both SIGN and SIGN2 in the license file and the keyword SIGN in the option file is assigned with value of SIGN, reservation does not work

Explanation

• When a feature contains both SIGN and SIGN2 in the license file and the keyword SIGN in the option file is assigned with value of SIGN, reservation does not work. However, if the keyword SIGN is assigned with the value SIGN2, reservation works as intended.
• Reservation does not applies, when SIGN2 keyword is used instead of SIGN keyword in the RESERVE line of the option file.
• With respect to License file, Depending on your signature configuration, the keyword must be either SIGN or SIGN and SIGN
• The option file present functionality only contains the information about one SIGN value. It does not record the information about second SIGN value if two entries exist in the FEATURE line(SIGN & SIGN2). Under this scenario, option file functionality holds the value of SIGN2.

  EXAMPLE:

  FEATURE Line:

  INCREMENT f1 demo 1.000 permanent 1
  VENDOR_STRING=commercial:permanent SUPERSEDE DUP_GROUP=UH \
  ISSUED=07-Apr-2021 BORROW=4320 SN=398-18816728 SIGN="XXX" SIGN2="YYY"

  OPTIONS file should be :

  RESERVE 1 f1 :SIGN="YYY" User ronald.exner

  instead of:

  RESERVE 1 f1 :SIGN="XXX" User ronald.exner

  NOTE: SIGN2 is a deprecated functionality
