By default, Arnold licenses are checked out using the host computer name.

You can change this with the ARNOLD_LICENSE_CLM_USERNAME environment variable.

ARNOLD _LICENSE_CLM_USERNAME supports the tokens and , so with Arnold 6.2.1 and later you can customize the name used to check out the license.

It could be just , which would expand to to something like "blairs"

Or it could be something like arnold .. , which would expand to something like " arnold .blairs.NOVMJ07M9WM"

By default, as of Arnold 6.2.1.0, Arnold licenses are checked out using the host computer name . In older Arnold versions, licenses were checked out with the name arnold.user

To make Arnold 6.2.1 and newer share a license with an older Arnold, set the environment variable ARNOLD _LICENSE_CLM_USERNAME to a rnold .user
