You can specify a name for a license instead of its default name by changing the value of the attribute EXTERNAL_NAME in the feature line of the license file.
For example, to change the feature PROE_Engineer to My_License_Name in a license file, specify the value of the EXTERNAL_NAME attribute as shown in the original and changed files.
