FLEXlm Basics
168 Administering Platform LSF
License management utilities
FLEXlm provides several utility programs for managing software licenses. These
utilities and their man pages are included in the Platform LSF software distribution.
Because these utilities can be used to shut down the FLEXlm license server daemon,
and can prevent licensed software from running, they are installed in the
LSF_SERVERDIR directory. For security reasons, this directory should only be
accessible to LSF administrators. Set the file permissions so that only root and
members of group 0 can use them.
LSF installs the following FLEXlm utilities in
LSF_SERVERDIR:
lmcksum Calculate check sums of the license key information
lmdown Shut down the FLEXlm server
lmhostid Display the hardware host ID
lmremove Remove a feature from the list of checked out features
lmreread Tell the license daemons to re-read the license file
lmstat Display the status of the license server daemons and checked out licenses
lmver Display the FLEXlm version information for a program or library
For complete details on these commands, see the FLEXlm man pages.
