Supersedes Patch Description

Expand all

Patch 697 — Fix problem with illegal characters in FlexNet display field 
This patch removes any non-printable ascii characters included in
the display field from lmstat output (from FlexNet manager).

Some characters would break parsing of the XML output data and
LicenseMonitor would not work.
Patch 678 — Fix escape of special characters in XML attributes 
Convertion to XML failed to handle special characters like
quotes if these where included in feature names. This would
make the XML output invalid (and break LicenseMonitor view)

This patch adds correct conversion to proper XML encoding (" etc).
