Running Administration Tools
All FLEXnet Licensing utilities are packaged as a single executable called lmutil. lmutil is
either installed as individual commands (either by creating links to the individual command
names, or making copies of
lmutil as the individual command names), or as a wrapper that
runs the individual command as
lmutil command. For example, lmutil lmstat, or lmutil
lmdown.
On Windows systems, the
lmutil command form of the commands are available. There is also
a graphical user interface available for these commands —see “License Administration
Tools—LMTOOLS for Windows.”
Universal lmutil Arguments
The following are valid arguments for most lmutil utilities:
lmver
Reports the FLEXnet Licensing version of a library or binary file.
-c license_file_path Most lmutil utilities need to know the path to the
license file. This is specified with a
-c
license_file_path
argument, or by setting the
LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. Otherwise,
the default location is used. The utilities also honor all
VENDOR_LICENSE_FILE environment variables. Some
utilities take more than one license file path in a license-
file list separated by colons on UNIX and semi-colons
on Windows.
Pathnames which include spaces have to be enclosed in
double quotes.
