Description

This patch contains the following bug fixes:

* Active Directory groups in License Optimizer
License Optimizer can now handle Active Directory Groups and can be utilized in setting priorities
in cold.conf.

* License Optimizer does not check if there is a license checkout and freezes an application though
there is none. To fix this issue,  "used-licenses" rule has been added , this will check if the user
of a feature
on a host has the actual number of license usage that is specified in the rule.

* Freezemonitor failed to optimize applications because it cannot handle the new lmstat output. This
patch adds support for the new output format of flex (vendor name included on usage line).

* Freezemon rule license-use gets the utilization wrong. The "license-use" rule previously had a bug
that caused the percentage of use to be summed for all features, and the sum was used in the
calculations. It has been updated so that the use will now be calculated for each feature
individually.

*lmremove issue
Configuration is added for cold.conf: rm-retry-interval=<period> and rm-max-retry=<number>. It is to
better control how frequently and how many times lmremove is to be run when disabling, if the first
attempt fails.

Patch 1266 — Fix for License Optimizer Standalone
General Description:
This patch includes fix for handling applications with arguments in Windows (LO standalone). It also
includes fix for the multiple instances of disabler for applications with arguments issue.

Detailed/Technical Description: 
LO Standalone (freezemon) had a problem in getting the command line arguments of each process in
Windows, resulting to an error if the application indicated in the configuration contains arguments.
UsageAnalyzer, on the other hand, had a problem providing the correct process information to
freezemon after the freezemon fix. This caused the multiple instances of disabler for applications
with arguments. This patch contains fixes for both freezemon and usageanalyzer.
Patch 1255 — Fix for License Optimizer( Stand Alone )
Added support for the new lmstat output format (no version in usage line) and support for
"feature-case-sensitive" in cold.conf. By default features are not case sensitive, set
feature-case-sensitive to yes to enable case sensitivity.
