Users can help the program to. You may use the LMHOST.INI file, the LSHOST (no extension) file, or the LSFORCEHOST environment variable to either help the software locate the license server more quickly, or to resolve potential problems when the broadcast fails to locate the license server by using lmhost.ini file,These lshostoptions fileare ordescribed LSFORCEHOSTas environmentfollows:
