The getOrderNumbers tool provides you with a complete list of the licenses installed on your license servers. This output is one of the files required by the License Renewal Comparison Tool and helps you with the annual license renewal process.
CAUTION: Do not run the getOrderNumbers tool under user root. This can lead to longer execution times.
Note: Prerequisite: FLEXlm license server software version: ≥ 11.9.1.1.
Note: The getOrderNumbers tool is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 7. Use the version applicable to your operating system version.
You can run the getOrderNumbers tool either on one of your license server hosts or on any of the SmarTest clients.

If you have license servers in multiple independent networks, you must run the getOrderNumbers tool in each network.
Example
