In my youth I realised that a licensed package was calling a separate
executable to check the license - the return code determined if the
product was licensed. I replaced the license code with a shell script
that returned '1' and it all worked.  Simple, naive days.

There is an OpenLM that, ISTR, is a replacement for FlexLM. I've used
the tools associated with it to analyse FlexLM logs.  However looking
at it, it now seems to be a commercial enterprise.

If your code is written in Python, what’s to stop users from just rewriting the 
license check?

It's not really clear (to me, anyway) what you're asking for. What would
the application you're looking for *do*?

Are you looking for something like flexlm?  Are you licensing your
python application on a per-seat basis?

I'm looking for some software like flexlm, which has the function like floating 
license. My python app will be installed in several PCs in local network, and I 
want to manage which python app can be used. So I need one license manager to 
control the usage of python app. One python app will be installed in one PC.




Not sure if this is the right tool for your use case:

I know flexlm but I never heard of an open source project with the same
functionality. Open source is usually free to use so there is no need to
control the number of licenses used :-)

Hi,


I have developped one python application. I need open source license server to 
manage the app via local network. Where can I get this kind of open source 
project?


Thanks!
