Flexlm
From TechPubs Wiki
Flex License Manager is a form of DRM used on IRIX and other UNIX systems to lock out features and programs and authenticate them in a centralized form.
Purpose
As prefaced, this is an early form of software DRM. The license files are a plaintext file containing all centralized flexlm license keys. It contains the registrant, serial info, expiration date etc.
