lmnewlog
82 FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide
When an input file is specified with no output file specified, output goes to stdout; if neither
input nor output file is specified,
lminstall assumes that input comes from stdin and prompts
the user for an output file name.
lminstall is also used to convert licenses from readable to decimal format, and between
different versions of FLEXnet license formats.
To convert from readable to decimal:
lminstall -i in_lic_file -o out_lic_file -odecimal
To convert to v5.1 format:
lminstall -i in_lic_file -o out_lic_file -overfmt 5.1
To enforce a maximum line length of, for example, 50 characters:
lminstall -maxlen 50
Conversion errors are reported as necessary and can be written to a file by specifying -e
err_file
. lminstall has a limit of 1000 lines of input.
lmnewlog
The lmnewlog utility switches the report log file by moving the existing report log information
to a new file, then starting a new report log with the original report log file name. If you rotate
report logs with
lmnewlog instead of lmswitchr, you do not have to change the file name in
the REPORTLOG line of the vendor’s options file. Requires a v7.1+ vendor daemon.
Usage is:
lmnewlog [-c license_file_list] feature renamed_report_log
or:
lmnewlog [-c license_file_list] vendor renamed_report_log
where:
-c license_file_list Use the specified license file(s).
feature Any feature in this license file.
vendor Vendor daemon in this license file.
renamed_report_log New file path where existing report log information is
to be moved.
