When you invoke lmgrd, it looks for the license file which contains the information about vendors and features. Usage is:
lmgrd [ -app ] [ -c license_file ] [ -t timeout_interval ] [ -l logfile ] [ -s timestamp_interval ] [ -2 -p ] [ -v ] [ -x lmdown ] [ -x lmremove ]
| Option | Purpose |
|---|---|
| -app | Required for Windows when run as a command, but not used when run as a service. |
| -c license_file | Use the license file specified by license_file. |
| -t timeout_interval | Sets a timeout interval, in seconds, during which redundant daemons must complete their connections to each other. The default value is 10 seconds. A larger value may be desirable if the daemons are run on busy systems or a very heavily loaded network. |
| -l logfile | Write the debug log to the specified logfile. |
| -s timestamp_interval | Specifies the logfile timestamp interval, in minutes. The default is 360 minutes. |
| -2 -p | Restricts usage of lmdown, lmreread, and lmremove to a FLEXlm administrator who is by default the root account. If there is a Unix group called ‘lmadmin’, then use is restricted to members of that group. If root is not a member of that group, then root can not use any of the above utilities. The ‘-p’ option is available in FLEXlm v2.4 and later. |
| -v | Prints lmgrd’s version number and copyright, and then exits. |
| -x lmdown | Disallows the lmdown command (no user can run lmdown). If lmdown is disabled, you must stop lmgrd via ‘kill pid’ (Unix) or CTRL-ALT-DEL and stop the lmgrd and vendor daemon processes (Windows 95). On Unix, be sure that the kill command does not have a -9 argument. The -x lmdown option is available in FLEXlm v4.0 and later. |
| -x lmremove | Disallows the lmremove command (no user can run lmremove).The -x lmremove option is available in FLEXlm v4.0 and later. |
