Including or Excluding Features from Data Collection

The license.exclude file serves as a general configuration file for including and excluding features in data collection.

  1. Open the license.exclude configuration file located at C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration. Notice the written instructions for proper configuration.

    Use the following format for each entry:

    license.exclude format
    <vendor_license>:<feature<;version><:component>>	<use>

    where <use> is either include or exclude, depending on the purpose of the entry.

    The vendor_license, feature (in the format feature;version), and component fields can be a single string or a comma-separated list.

    Multiple Entries​

    To specify more than one value for a field, separate them with commas. For example:

    Multiple Vendor License
    alpha,beta,gamma:*:*

    If a vendor license name itself contains a comma, you must escape it using a backslash (\). For example, a vendor license named alpha,beta,gamma:msc should be written as:

    Vendor License Name with Comma
    alpha\,beta\,gamma:msc:*:*

    Globbing Support​

    You can use globbing patterns with * and ? for flexible matching. These patterns are useful for partial name matches.

    Case Insensitivity​

    All entries are case-insensitive, so Alpha, alpha, and ALPHA are treated the same.

    Comments and Whitespace​

    • Empty lines are allowed and ignored during processing.
    • Any line that starts with # is treated as a comment.

  2. Add new lines for new entries.

    Note

    Specify general, followed by specific elements. Entries are processed sequentially, starting from the top.

    This example excludes all features with version trial, regardless of the vendor license or component.

    General Example
    *:*;trial:*   exclude

    Another example includes the MATLAB features simulink (version 2022a) and simscape (version 2023b), across all components.

    Specific Example
    matlab:simulink;2022a,simscape;2023b:*   include
