Flexible License Manager

Obtaining your activation key

Builder Xcessory uses the GLOBEtrotter Software Inc. Flexible License Manager (FLEXlm). When you receive Builder Xcessory, contact ICS to obtain your activation key. Based on information about your server configuration, the activation key allows you to obtain a license to run Builder Xcessory. You can run the Builder Xcessory in demo mode without a license, but you must have a license to save a session's work by writing out UIL files.


Note: If you have Builder Xcessory 1.x, 2.x, or 3.x, you must request a new activation key .

Man Pages

Refer to User Commands for man pages related to the license manager.


Note: Builder Xcessory is distributed with version 3.0 of GLOBEtrotter Software's Flexible License Manager.
