Creating a License Generator Configuration Custom Attribute
Note:When creating a license technology, if you implement your license generator class so that it references the license generator executable, you can skip this step. In the flow of the Create a License Technology wizard, this step precedes creating the license technology configuration itself.
You can create a license generator configuration attribute for custom license technologies in the draft state. You cannot create a license generator configuration attribute for FlexNet Publisher Licensing Toolkit.
