> lmswitch vendor new-file or feature new-file The -a option displays all feature information. MSI_LICENSE_FILE path used automatically. This information includes which daemonsĪre running, the users of individual features, and the users of features served by a specific daemon. The lmstat utility helps you monitor the status of all licensing activity for a particular license. Use lp_lmreread to have the MSI_LICENSE_FILE path used automatically.
In addition,Īll pre-existing daemons are signaled to reread the license file for changes in feature licensing information. The lmreread utility causes the license daemon to reread the license file and start any new vendor daemons that have been added. The lmremove utility returns the license to On a node that crashes, the user's license sometimes remains checked out and unavailable to anyone.
For instance, when a user is running the software The lmremove utility allows you to remove a single user's license for a specified feature. The lmhostid utility reports the host ID of a system. v prints the lmgrd version number and copyright, then exits.
But if no -l argument is specified, separate windows are used for lmgrd and each vendor daemon. In v7+, lmgrd runs in the background by default. On Windows, prior to version 7 (v7), lmgrd always The default behavior is to run in the background. x lmremove disables the lmremove command (no user can run lmremove) (v4+ lmgrd). Sure the kill command does not have a -9 argument (v4+ lmgrd). Kill pid (UNIX) or stop the lmgrd and vendor daemon processes through the Task Manager or NT Service (Windows). If lmdown is disabled, you need to stop lmgrd via x lmdown disables the lmdown command (no user can run lmdown). If -2 -p is used when starting lmgrd, no user on Windows can shut Root does not have permission to use any of the above utilities. If root is not a member of this group, then Group called lmadmin, then use is restricted to members of that group only. 2 -p restricts usage of lmdown, lmreread, and lmremove to a FLEXnet administrator who is, by default, root.

Prepending with the plus symbol (+) appends logging entries. l writes debugging information to the specified debug log file. c specifies the license file(s) to be used. On UNIX systems, it is strongly recommended that lmgrd is run as a non-privileged user (not root). When you invoke lmgrd, it looks for a license file that contains information about vendors andįeatures. Lmgrd is the main daemon program for FLEXnet. Use lp_lmdown to have the MSI_LICENSE_FILE path used automatically. Note that a path specification is required The -vendor msi option allows you to bring down only the msi daemon. The lmdown utility allows you to safely shut down all of the license daemons (both lmgrd and all vendor daemons) on all nodes for a given Lmdiag allows you to diagnose problems when you cannot check out a license. Same folder as the FLEXnet licensing tools. These wrappers ( lp_lmdown, lp_lmreread, and lp_lmstat) are located in the Accelrys provides special wrappers to automatically pass the -c argument to these tools for yourĪccelrys licensing configuration. The lmdown, lmreread, and lmstat utilities require the Utility uses the license indicated by the LM_LICENSE_FILE or the MSI_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. For all of the tools below that accept the -c option, if this option is not used, the UNIX-specific command line tools for more information.Īll UNIX tools are from FLEXnet 10.8.1. We provide scripts which can be sourced to automatically set up your environment to find these tools via the PATH environment variable.
On UNIX, open a terminal window with a command prompt and navigate to the bin folder under the platform-specific folder that you are using. On Windows, start a DOS command window ( cmd.exe) and change directory to the win32\bin folder of your LicensePack installation.Ĭd C:\Program Files\Accelrys\LicensePack\win32\bin These FLEXnet licensing tools are packaged in the bin folder under the platform specific folder within your LicensePack installation. Refer to the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide, which is accessible from Additional information.
