SySAM Utilities

The licensing utility program, lmutil, includes the options for managing licensing activities.

Utility Description
lmborrow Supports license borrowing.
lmdiag Diagnoses license checkout problems.
lmdown Shuts down selected license daemons.
lmhostid Reports the system host identifier for the machine on which the command is run.
lminstall (Not supported by Sybase)Converts license files to different formats.
lmnewlog Moves the existing report log information to a new file name and starts a new report log file with the existing file name.
lmpath Allows direct control over license file path settings. Sybase recommends that you place all license files in the license directory rather than scattering them and modifying the license server’s search path.
lmremove Releases the failed license to the pool of free licenses. If a Sybase product is still using the license, the product obtains the license again during its next heartbeat.
lmreread Directs the license daemon to reread the license file and to start any new vendor daemons.
lmstat Displays the license server system status.
lmswitch Tells the license server to start writing to a new debug log file. When you restart the license server, it uses the debug log file specified in the options file, so you must ensure the old log is renamed to avoid appending to it.
lmswitchr Switches the report log to a new file name. Sybase recommends that you use lmnewlog to archive the report log instead.
lmver Reports the FLEXnet Licensing version of a library or binary file.
