lmdiag [-c license_file_list] [-n] [feature[:keyword=value]]

lmdiag f1:HOSTID=12345678

If no feature is specified, lmdiag operates on all features in the license files in your list. lmdiag first prints information about the license, then attempts to check out each license. If the checkout succeeds, lmdiag indicates this. If the checkout fails, lmdiag gives you the reason for the failure. If the checkout fails because lmdiag cannot connect to the license server, you have the option of running “extended connection diagnostics.”

These extended diagnostics attempt to connect to each TCP/IP port on the license server machine and detect if the port number in the license file is incorrect. lmdiag indicates each TCP/IP port number that is listening. If it is an lmgrd process, lmdiag indicates this as well. If lmdiag finds the vendor daemon for the feature being tested, it indicates the correct port number for the license file to correct the problem.

See The FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide Version 11.6 for additional information. This guide is available for download from the Licensing section of the Support page at www.3ds.com/simulia.

lmdown -c license_file_list [-vendor vendor] [-q] [-all]

You can protect the unauthorized execution of lmdown when you start up the license manager daemon lmgrd. Shutting down the servers causes users to lose their licenses. See the -local, -2 -p, and -x options in “FLEXnet license server manager lmgrd,” Section 3.5, for details about securing access to lmdown.

If lmdown encounters more than one server (for example, if -c specifies a directory with many *.lic files), a choice of license servers to shut down is presented.

To stop and restart a single vendor daemon, use lmdown -vendor vendor, then use lmreread -vendor vendor to restart the vendor daemon (see “lmreread,” Section 3.6.6).

When shutting down a three-server redundant license server, there is a one-minute delay before the servers shut down. lmdown shuts down all three license servers of a set of redundant license servers. If you need to shut down one of a set of redundant license servers (not recommended because if either of the remaining machines becomes unavailable, the license server will stop serving licenses), you must kill both the lmgrd and vendor daemon processes on that license server machine.

lmhostid [-n]

The following is an example of lmhostid output:

lmremove [-c license_file_list] feature user user_host display
or
lmremove [-c license_file_list] -h feature server_host port handle

The lmremove tool removes all instances of user on user_host and display from usage of feature. If the -c license_file_list option is specified, the indicated file is used as the license file. The -h variation uses server_host, port, and license handle, as reported by lmstat -a.

lmreread [-c license_file_list] [-vendor vendor] [-all]

You may want to protect the execution of lmreread. See the -2 -p and -x options in “FLEXnet license server manager lmgrd,” Section 3.5, for details about securing access to lmreread.

To stop and restart a single vendor daemon, use lmdown -vendor vendor, then use lmreread -vendor vendor, which restarts the vendor daemon.

lmstat [-a] [-c license_file_list] [-f [feature]] [-i [feature]] [-s [server]][-S [vendor]] [-t timeout_value]

The lmremove tool requires the output of the lmstat -a command, as shown in the example below.

The output for the command

flex_install_dir/os/code/bin/lmstat -a
