level.txt is a text file that specifies which p= articular level of a network licens= e (such as Basic, Plus, Ultimate, etc) should be retrieved from the license server in the case there ar= e licenses for multiple levels of the same product available on the license= server. It can be also used to speed up the loading of standalone licenses.
On this page:
The level.txt file should be created using Notepad and saved in the directory that contains the executable file f= or the particular CSI program to which this level.txt file should be applie= d.
The content of the level.txt file is the license level that should be re= trieved from the license manager server, such as BASIC, PLUS, ADVANCED, ULT= IMATE, etc. Please note that different levels are available for different C= SI programs.
The available levels are different for different CSI products as listed = below.
The available levels for CSiBridge= a> are listed in "CSiBridge <version>.ini" file located in the progra= m installation directory and are as follows:
The available levels for SAP2000 a= re as follows:
The available levels for ETA= BS are as follows:
The available levels for SAFE are as follows:
Question: Let's say that the user is running SAP2000 an= d has several network Plus, Advanced and Ultimate licenses. If there is no = level.txt file, which license level will be retrieved by the program?
Answer: SAP2000 will try to get the highest level licen= se first (Ultimate), the 2nd highest level (Advanced) if the highest level = is not available and so on. Also a Standalone license will be looked for be= fore a Network license.
Question: When there is a level.txt that specifies Plus= level, what will happen if all the Plus licenses are in use? Will SAP2000 = not run because it is unable to get the Plus level, or will it pull a highe= r level license? If it pulls a higher level license, will it pull Advanced = or Ultimate as the first choice?
Answer: The program will continue to look for a license= as if there were no level.txt, see the above FAQ item.
Question: Let's say that the IT Admin wants certain use= rs to get only the Plus level and no higher level (as the Advanced and Ulti= mate licenses are reserved for a different group of users). Is there a way = to enforce it by specifying Plus in level.txt (such that when all Plus lice= nses are in use, the user will not be able to get any higher licenses)?
Answer: It is not possible to enforce this via level.tx= t, because the program will be looking for other level licenses as describe= d in the above FAQ items. However, the there are the following two options:=
