❖ lsadmin reconfig
❖ lsadmin restart on the master LIM

lines to your existing license file.
2 Edit your
license.dat file using a text editor like vi or emacs.
See Viewing and editing the license file on page 159.

INCREMENT line, do not overwrite or delete existing license
lines in the process.
❖ If this is the first increment, add the INCREMENT line for each product after
the

❖ If you already have an INCREMENT line for the product, add the second
INCREMENT line after the first, and so on.
