capability

Syntax

capability {<product> ... }

Description

Simulate the license capability for the current user.

Parameters

• <product>
  The name of products for which simulated licenses are to be granted. Only products for which the current user is actually licensed may be specified. They are literal text items and should not be enclosed within quotes. Case is ignored.

Switches

None

Notes

This command is used during application development to simulate a user with lower license capability.

The command will replace the current license capabilities with the specified products. The total license capability is set by this command so all products which are to be "licensed" must be included.

Using one product name of reset will return the license capability to its original system startup state.

A special product name of developer will provide a capability of another developer, i.e. another user who has a development license.

The new license capability will remain in effect until the end of the program session or a capability reset command.

A simulated license is valid for all version numbers of a named product.
