# INCLUDE

INCLUDE includes a user or predefined group of users from the list of who is allowed to use the feature. EXCLUDE supersedes INCLUDE; conflicts between the EXCLUDE list and the INCLUDE list are resolved by EXCLUDE taking precedence.

Usage:

INCLUDE feature type { name | group_name }

Term | Description
feature | Name of the feature being affected.
type | One of USER, HOST, DISPLAY, INTERNET, GROUP, or HOST_GROUP.
name | Name of an item of type above for which license usage is included.
group_name | Name of the group to include. Group names are case sensitive.

Example:

To include user bob in the list of users able to use feature f1, the option line looks like this:

INCLUDE f1 USER bob

Important Information:

We recommend not combining INCLUDE + INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT (or EXCLUDE + EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT) in the same options file. Concurrent use licenses should be user-restricted with:

• INCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT or EXCLUDE_ENTITLEMENT if license administrators wish to restrict only borrow.

• INCLUDE or EXCLUDE if license administrators wish only to restrict concurrent licensing, but not borrow.

FlexNet Publisher does not currently support the user restriction of the borrow and concurrent use check-out portions of a concurrent use license separately.

Note:

Please review Technical Article 12134 for further information on the use of the INCLUDE keyword.
