License Management with FLEXlm and COBOL
FLEXlm Utilities
Using lmremove
This utility generally allows the system administrator to remove a single
user’s license for a specified feature. However, you cannot use lmremove
to remove a COBOL license.
If you attempt to do this, lmremove appears to succeed and lmgrd logs a
message stating that the license was removed; however, the license is not
given up and returned to the pool of available licenses.
Using lmreread
This utility causes the license daemon to reread the license file and start
any new vendor daemons that have been added. In addition all
pre-existing vendor daemons will be signaled to reread the license file for
any changes in feature licensing information. lmreread cannot be used
to change server node names or port numbers. Its usage is as follows:
lmreread [-c license_file] [daemon]
where
-c license_file specifies the license file to operate on. In this case, only
lmreread will read the license file specified; lmgrd
will reread the license file it originally read at start-up
time.
daemon specifies the vendor daemon to signal. If a vendor
daemon is specified in this manner, only the named
vendor will reread the license file. In this case, lmgrd
will not reread the license file (and will not start any
new vendor daemons that might have been added).
Using lmstat
This utility allows the system administrator and/or user to quickly
monitor the status of all FLEXlm licensing activities. lmstat returns
information such as:
• which daemons are running
• users of individual features
• users of features served by a specific vendor daemon
