EN: CAVA V5 FlexNet feature names

If the FEATURE name in the license file contains a hyphen '-' it may work with older CAVA V5 releases like 1.28.5 and with current ones like 1.35.5

 

Example of FEATURE name as issued prior to 1.30.2:
FEATURE TC-CAVA-V5-Safety

If the FEATURE name does not contain a hyphen '-' it will not work with older CAVA V5 releases like 1.28.5

Example of FEATURE name issued for 1.30.2 or higher:
FEATURE CAVAV5Safety

 

Background Information

Flexera dropped the support for hyphens '-' in FEATURE names with their FlexNet version 11.14

It usually still works even with newer FlexNet versions but may cause problems in specific server configurations.

Therefore TECHNIA changed the FEATURE name style.

A CAVA V5 version 1.30.2 or higher understands both FEATURE name styles.

A CAVA V5 version prior to 1.30.2 understands only the style with hyphens '-'
