GenerateMD5

FlexNet Manager Suite ()

Command line | Registry

GenerateMD5 specifies whether or not to calculate the MD5 digest of any file being considered by the tracker, and to include it with stored inventory data. Since MD5 digests are not used to identify versions of inventoried files, set this preference to True only when it is needed to support an IncludeMD5 or ExcludeMD5 preference. Be aware that calculating MD5 digests will degrade performance where many files are being tracked.
