Section Name | Parameter | Description |
[Settings] | Order= | This defines the default order in which license system providers are queried for a particular license. An order of "2 1 3 4" indicates that Provider2 is to be queried first, Provider1 second, etc. Note that each number is separated by a space. If a number appears here that does not match a provider, the number is skipped. Likewise, if any providers are listed which do not appear in this list, they will be queried after the listed providers. These providers will be queried in the order in which they appear in the [Providers] section. |
[Providers] | ProviderN= | One entry for each license system provider installed on the client. Each license system must place a line with a unique value for N. The line contains the full pathname to the DLL, a semicolon (;), the interface specification version number provided in the DLL (for now, all are 1.00); another semicolon followed by a brief text description of the particular license system. The entire line must not exceed 255 characters. |
[Vendor] | vendor-specific | Each License system vendor optionally may include limited information in the LSAPI.INI file by placing information under their unique Vendor name. |

PROVIDERS\ProviderN | One entry for each license system provider installed on the client. Each license system must create a key with a unique value for N. The value is set to the full pathname to the DLL, a semicolon (;), the interface specification version number provided in the DLL (for now, all are 1.00); another semicolon followed by a brief text description of the particular license system.

Vendor-Name\... | Vendors that wish to use the registration database for private configuration information may create a key: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\LSAPI\Vendor-Name where the name is a unique trademark name. Below that, the vendor may create keys of its own choosing. At this time, it is recommended that provider developers limit the amount of private configuration information stored into the registry. |
