lmstat

Displays license server and client status information.

lmstat can help you diagnose license problems and optimize license usage. Specifically, lmstat enables you to:

• Determine the status of daemons currently running
• Determine status of license files
• Identify the expiration date of a license
• Identify users of individual features and report checkout times

This helps you identify which licenses are currently available and which are in use. lmstat also reports the expiration date of a license, which is an important factor for planning future license use.

lmstat does not report on unserved license usage. You cannot use it to determine the status of unserved licenses, such as uncounted licenses. lmstat only gives information about the status of licenses that reside in license files on the server.

lmdiag

Diagnoses checkout problems.

lmdiag is used to diagnose license checkout problems. Unless you specify a single feature, all licensed features are diagnosed. If a file contains multiple lines for a given feature, you can specify a particular line to diagnose.

lmdiag first prints information about the license, then attempts to checkout each license. lmdiag indicates if the checkout succeeds. If the checkout fails, a reason for the failure is returned.

If a server connection problem is identified, you have the option to run extended connection diagnostics. Extended diagnostics attempt to connect to each TCP/IP port on the server to detect if the port number indicated in the license file is mistaken. If lmdiag finds the daemon for the feature being diagnosed, it indicates the correct port number for the license file to correct the problem.

lmdown

Shuts down selected license daemons.

lmdown enables you to shut down selected license daemons, including lmgrd and vendor daemons. lmdown can be used with single and multiple servers.

Note: On Unix platforms never use kill - 9to shutdown servers.

lmhostid

Reports the host ID.

lmhostid reports the host ID of the current platform. Universal arguments enable you to report the type of host ID and to return the host ID in the UTF-8 format, as well as in standard ASCII format.

You will use lmhostid to determine the host ID of computers you are using, in order to configure licenses for servers and system controllers.

lminstall

Converts files from decimal to readable format.

lminstall enables you to enter decimal format licenses so they are converted into a readable license format. lminstall can also be used to convert from a readable format to decimal format.

lmpath

Enables user definition of file path settings.

lmpath enables you to define the path that is used for FLEXlm license settings. lmpath enables you to add to, override, or retrieve the current license path setting. lmpath will help you define the optimal license path setting for your testing environment, and also to view the current path setting.

lmremove

Releases hung license.

lmremove enables you to remove a single user's license for a specified feature. The licensed feature is effectively checked back into the server, and thus available for other users to check out - or for you to check out again.

lmreread

Initiates reread of license file.

lmreread causes the file manager to reread the license file and so start any new features that have been added since the current test operation was started. lmreread can be used both to reread a specified daemon or to reread all active daemons.

If you want to add licenses to the current test you will first install the license file, use the lmreread command, then restart SmarTest.

lmswitch

Defines debug log location and size.

lmswitch pertains to debug log files. Using lmswitch makes it easier for you to track debug output and to generate smaller, more manageable, debug files.

By default all debug log output is written to a single debug log file, including debug log output from lmgrd and from any active vendor daemons. Therefore, debug output files can become very large, resulting in a large consumption of memory, and making tracking of specific debug results more difficult.

The lmswitch command also enables you to track debug output for a specific daemon by specifying its location in an independent file.

lmswitchr

Defines report log location and size.

lmswitchr pertains to report log files. Report logs are only used in conjunction with products such as SAMreport, and otherwise should not be active. Use lmswitchr to close the existing report log file and initiate a new report log file. If no report log is active, the lmswitchr commands initiates one.

Using lmswitchr makes it easier for you to track report log output and to generate files that are more manageable in size.

lmnewlog

Moves existing report log to new file, then starts new report log with name of original file.

lmnewlog is identical in purpose to the lmswitchr command except it assigns the new report log file the name that had been given to the original report log file. Report logs are only used in conjunction with products such as SAMreport, and otherwise should not be active.

If you use lmnewlog instead of lmswitchr to rotate report log files, you do not have to change the file name in the REPORTLOG line of the option file.

lmver

Reports FLEXlm license version.

lmver reports the FLEXlm versions of lmgrd, a vendor daemon, a license administration tool, or an executable file that has been built using FLEXlm.

Use lmver to ensure that the FLEXlm version you are using is the most recent version. Using the most recent lmgrd version is always recommended.
