Version 24.07 introduces the following new features and capabilities:

Support for Designating IP Addresses

In version 24.07, full support for designating IP addresses has been added. IP addresses for the license server can be specified in the localconfiguration.yaml file. This capability is useful in scenarios where customers have multiple network interfaces, and they want to reserve specific IP addresses for license server communication. 

Note: In the previous releases, the license server would not start after IP address assignment. This issue has now been fixed, and the license server starts as expected.
