JChem License Precedence

Would it be possible to change the license manager behavior in JChemBase.  Here is what I have discovered through testing.


If you have the environment variable CHEMAXON_LICENSE_URL set and you have a local copy of the license file the local copy is completely ignored.  This is a problem because you may be not always be connected to the network.  Very disappointing behavior to find out when you are traveling.  I would like to suggest that the behavior should be to check the default location for the license.cxl then if that does not exist then to look for CHEMAXON_LICENSE_URL.  I discovered this problem on JChem 5.8.0 on Wndows 7 64bit.  Hope to see this behavior updated in the next release.  Makes developing on the road pretty tough.

Hi,


You can put multiple license file paths in the environment variable separated by ;
If you put the word 'default' in the list, the default local license will be read.
See the documentation: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/help/licensedoc/installToDesktop.html


Let me know If your problem has not been solved in this way.
