What FNE commands are available?

FlexNet Embedded license administration

How do I get a list of FNE licenses available on my FNE license server?

You can use the FNE server viewer > Features.

Alternatively you can use the command fne-list-licenses

There are a bunch of options like providing the output with a separator like comma possible, please check with man fne-list-licenses the manual page.

Examples:

Without any options you get all licenses:

With option --feature you can look up a special license:

 Features are case-sensitive. If you enter fne-list-licenses --feature=smartest you will not get an output.

See the manual page for more examples.

How to set up a simple hostname - fne-failover-setup ERROR: The simple hostname (<hostname>) may not contain dots

if you enter the command hostnamectl status

you should get for the simple/static hostname only the simple hostname like licfne01 on the appropriate server. (warning) The simple/static hostname must not contain a dot when setting up an FNE failover setup. Example for a good output:

In the screenshot above the simple/static hostname is socbu216 only.

If there is a dot in the simple hostname, then you can change it with hostnamectl set-hostname <name>

 Check with command hostnamectl status

afterwards, if the name changed. Please also check, that the fully qualified hostname is still available with hostname -f

Example for good hostname -f output:

Note: Do not use localhost or localhost.localdomain as hostname for an FNE license server!
