License Management with FLEXlm and COBOL

FLEXlm Utilities

When hpmfocdsini installs the FLEXlm components, it installs the

license administration tool, lmutil. lmutil contains several utility

programs embedded within it. You can use these utilities to better

manage the use of FLEXlm licenses.

By default, the utilities are placed in /usr/local/flexlm/bin.

However, they may be elsewhere if FLEXlm was already present on the

system, or if hpmfocdsini was directed to install FLEXlm at an

alternate location.

You can access these utilities two different ways. You can use lmutil to

run the utility:

$ cd /usr/local/flexlm/bin

$ ./lmutil utility_name

Or you can run the utility directly:

$ ./utility_name

For example, the following two commands are equivalent:

$ ./lmutil lmstat -a

$ ./lmstat -a

The utilities included in lmutil are the following:

• lmcksum

• lmdiag

• lmdown

• lmhostid

• lmremove

• lmreread

• lmstat

• lmswitchr

• lmver
