The lmgrd program is the main daemon program for
FLEXnet Licensing.
When you invoke lmgrd, the program looks for a license file
that contains information about vendors and features. On Linux platforms it is
recommended that you run lmgrd as a non-privileged user (not
root).
See The
FLEXnet Licensing
End User Guide Version for more information on
FLEXnet Licensing.

- Syntax and Options
-
lmgrd [-c license_file_list] [-l [+]debug_log_path] [-2 -p] [-local] [-x lmdown] [-x lmremove] [-z] [-v] [-help]
- -c
license_file_list
-
Specifies the license files to use.
- -l
[+]debug_log_path
-
Writes debugging information to the file
debug_log_path. This option uses the letter
l, not the numeral 1. Prepending
debug_log_path with the + character appends logging
entries.
- -2
-p
-
Restricts usage of lmdown (see
lmdown),
lmreread (see
lmreread),
and lmremove (see
lmremove)
to a
FLEXnet Licensing
administrator who is by default root. If there is a Linux group called
“lmadmin,” use is restricted to members of that group. If root is not a member
of this group, root does not have permission to use any of the three tools
listed above. If you use -2 -p when starting
lmgrd, no user on
Windows
platforms can shut down the license server with lmdown.
- -local
-
Restricts lmdown and lmreread to be
run only from the same machine where lmgrd is running.
- -x
lmdown
-
Disables the lmdown command (no user can run
lmdown). If lmdown is disabled, you need
to stop lmgrd via kill
pid (Linux platforms) or stop the
lmgrd and vendor daemon processes through the
Windows
Task Manager or
Windows
service. On Linux platforms, verify that the kill command
does not contain the -9 option.
- -x
lmremove
-
Disables the lmremove command (no user can run
lmremove).
- -z
-
Runs in foreground. The default behavior is to run in the background. If
-l debug_log_path is present, no
windows are used. If no -l options are specified, separate
windows are used for lmgrd and each vendor daemon.
- -v
-
Prints lmgrd version number and copyright and exits (does
not launch lmgrd).
- -help
-
Displays usage information and exits.
