# About the License File

Usually the lslic utility is used to install the license code in the license file in the same directory in which the License Manager resides. By default, the license file is named lservrc, and it may contain multiple license codes.

Here are few recommended settings for the license file:

- The default location of the license file is in the default License Manager directory. It is best to leave the location of the license file there.
- For non-redundant license License Managers, the default name of the license file is lservrc. For redundant License Managers, the default name of the license file is lservrlf. A redundant license License Manager can service both redundant and non-redundant license codes if both types of license files are available to the License Manager.
- The License Manager must have read/write access to the license file when the license installation program is being executed. If you are having a problem installing license codes, then you should verify that the License Manager has read/write access to the license file.

### Tip:

If the License Manager cannot find the license file and error logging is enabled, it will log the error in the error log file.
