The system administrator can control the module and the licensed user options; for example, some users may not be allowed to borrow Vectorworks, or may only borrow it for shorter periods of time than other users. The administrator can also set report log and debug log file options.
If there are many users that will not be allowed to borrow the software, instead of excluding each one, use INCLUDEALL_ROAM to allow only specific users to borrow.
To specify and edit the module, user, or log file options:
From the main Server Administration screen, click Status.
The server status pane displays.
In the Options column of the ISV Servers table, click vektorwrx.
The Edit ISV Options screen opens.
Using the syntax described in Server Syntax, specify or edit the user options.
In the syntax and examples, user, host, internet, group, host_group, and internet_group can be specified interchangeably when setting up permissions for a client or groups of clients.

|
Exclude |
Restricts the use of a module for the specified client |
EXCLUDE module user name Example: EXCLUDE landmark name sam |
|
Include |
Restricts the use of a module for any clients not specified |
INCLUDE module group group_name Example: INCLUDE spotlight group designers |
|
Excludeall_roam |
Restricts borrowing for certain clients |
EXCLUDEALL_ROAM user firstname_lastname Example: EXCLUDEALL_ROAM user susan_rodriguez |
|
Includeall_roam |

INCLUDEALL_ROAM group group_name Example: INCLUDEALL_ROAM group architects |
|
Reserve |

RESERVE number module user user_name Examples: RESERVE 1 spotlight user frank RESERVE 3 architect group engineers |
|
Max |
Limits the maximum number of licenses checked out per client |
MAX number module user firstname_lastname Example: MAX 3 landmark host_group designers |
|
Debuglog |
Creates a Debug log for the ISV server |
DEBUGLOG file_path file_name Example: dbuglog Log\dlog.txt |
|
Debuglog + |
Creates a different Debug log for each ISV server, automatically appending the log information rather than overwriting the log; this can also be specified as a startup option. See Server Startup Options. |
DEBUGLOG + file_path file_name Example: dbuglog + Log\dlog.txt |
|
Nolog in Nolog out Nolog denied |
Specifies that the server won’t log information about license check ins, check outs, or denied licenses in the Debug log |
NOLOG type Example: NOLOG denied |
|
Timeout product |
Controls the length of time (in seconds) that the Vectorworks program needs to communicate with the server by product (module); if there is no communication, the server revokes the license. This can prevent leaks or extended checkout of Vectorworks licenses if the Vectorworks program crashes or hangs on the client. The minimum number of seconds is 3600 (one hour). If no timeout time is specified, licenses do not time out. |
TIMEOUT sec product Example: TIMEOUT 3600 fundamentals |
|
Timeoutall |
This is the same command as Timeout, but it sets the timeout for any client usage of the Vectorworks program (all modules) |
TIMEOUTALL 7200 |
|

The options are saved in the vektorwrx.opt file, which is located in the same network license folder as the RLM software.
