lmreread
FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide 85
The -h variation uses the server_host, port, and license handle, as reported by lmstat
-a
. Consider this example lmstat -a output:
joe nirvana /dev/ttyp5 (v1.000) (cloud9/7654 102), start Fri 10/29 18:40
In this example, the user is “joe,” the user host is “nirvana,” the display is “/dev/typp5,” the
server host is “cloud9,” the TCP/IP port is “7654,” and the license handle is “102.”
To remove this license, issue one of the following commands:
lmremove f1 joe nirvana /dev/ttyp5
or
lmremove -h f1 cloud9 7654 102
When removing by handle, if licenses are grouped as duplicates, all duplicate licenses are also
removed. If license lingering is set and
lmremove is used to reclaim the license, lmremove
starts, but does not override, the license’s linger time.
You can protect the unauthorized execution of
lmremove when you start up the license server
manager,
lmgrd, because removing a user’s license is disruptive.

lmreread
The lmreread utility causes the license server manager to reread the license file and start any
new vendor daemons that have been added. In addition, all currently running vendor daemons
are signaled to reread the license file and their end-user options files for changes in feature
licensing information or option settings. If report logging is enabled, any report log data still in
the vendor daemon’s internal data buffer is flushed.
lmreread recognizes changes to server
machine host names, but cannot be used to change server TCP/IP port numbers.
If the optional vendor daemon name is specified, only the named daemon rereads the license
file and its end-user options file (in this case,
lmgrd does not reread the license file).
Usage is:
lmreread [-c license_file_list] [-vendor vendor] [-all]
where:
-c license_file_list Use the specified license file(s).
-vendor vendor Only vendor daemon vendor rereads the license file
and its options file. Additionally,
lmgrd restarts
vendor if necessary.
