In order to use FORMS in a network, the FLEXlm flexible license manager software that is included on the FORMS installation CD needs to be installed on a server that is reachable from FORMS clients. FLEXlm manages your ReadSoft software licenses. The type of database or the number of databases used in the system does not affect FLEXlm.
For important instructions on installing and configuring FLEXlm, see Installing and Configuring FLEXlm for Use With FORMS. Information about hardware locks (dongles) can also be found in that document.
