Symphony supports two base license keys:
Either one of these licenses is required for Symphony to function. If both licenses are present, the sym_base license takes effect. Symphony licenses are stored in a text file named license.dat, by default.
FEATURE [feature_name] lsf_ld [version] [expiryDate] 0 ADAD246AB126D5936EA9 HOSTID=[id] NOTICE="MAXCORE(#core)"
For example, a sym_base license key for 300 cores would look like this:
FEATURE sym_base lsf_ld 5.100 10-Dec-3010 0 ADAD246AB126D5936EA9 HOSTID=0080c84b0430 NOTICE="MAXCORE(300)"
A sym_base license allows a cluster to run an unlimited number of enabled applications concurrently and either an unlimited number of cores or the number of cores defined in NOTICE="MAXCORE(#core)".
The cores are reported by the OS, including cores on both physical and virtual hosts.
This license can be used with all add-on products. (Add-on product licenses are required.)
A sym_cluster_edition license allows a cluster to run up to 10 enabled applications concurrently and a maximum of 1000 cores or the number of cores defined in NOTICE="MAXCORE(#core)". The maximum number of cores that can be defined in the NOTICE is 1000.
The cores are reported by the OS, including cores on both physical and virtual hosts.
You can register more than 10 applications, but only 10 applications can be enabled at the same time.
Additional hosts that cause the cluster to exceed the core limit are not usable, but are still visible.
This license can be used with the following add-on products: (Add-on product licenses are required.)
The master LIM does not communicate with a license server, but instead verifies the license locally.
A host is unlicensed if there is not enough core licenses for part or all of its cores.
An unlicensed host receives a closed status, which cannot be opened.
If a cluster initially has an unlicensed host and a licensed host is removed, the original unlicensed host will become licensed and opened automatically.
Feasture licenses are required for the following add-on products:
The NOTICE="MAXCORE(#core)" parameter, which specifies the maximum number of core licenses for a feature, is defined in the following add-on product licenses:
The total number of cores supported in a cluster is the sum of:
MAXCORE(#core) for the three add-on product licenses and the MAXCORE(#core) of sym_base or sym_cluster_edition_base. (Note: If both licenses are present, the sym_base license takes effect.)

When a new license file is inserted into the cluster or an exisiting license file is updated, the following steps must be performed for the license change to take effect.
