A component of a license certificate.
When you purchase a product, you purchase one or more license units for it. For example, a 100 Additive User License for Novell BorderManager® Firewall Services 3 contains 100 license units, allowing 100 users to access BorderManager services.
NLS supports digital license units that are available from installed License Certificate objects. NLS also supports metered license certificates that are managed through ZENworks® functionality.
License certificates are installed from files. Typical filename extensions are
.nlf (for NetWare, BorderManager, and other Novell products)
.cls (for NetWare for Small Business)
.key (activation keys)
IMPORTANT:A license unit or a license certificate is not the license itself. Licenses are specified in your license agreement. Although NLS helps you stay in compliance with the license agreement, you are bound by the terms and conditions of your software agreement.
