lmpath

The lmpath tool allows direct control over FLEXnet license path settings. It is most useful for checking current license path settings for diagnostic purposes.

Syntax and Options

lmpath {-add | -override} {vendor | all} license_file_list

-add

Prepends license_file_list to the current license file list or creates the license file list, if it does not exist, initializing it to license_file_list. Duplicates are discarded.

-override

Overrides the existing license file list with license_file_list. If license_file_list is the null string (""), the specified list is deleted.

  • lmpath -override all ""

    Deletes the value of LM_LICENSE_FILE.

  • lmpath -override vendor ""

    Deletes the value of VENDOR_LICENSE_FILE

vendor

A vendor daemon name. Affects the value of VENDOR_LICENSE_FILE.

all

Refers to all vendor daemons. Affects the value of LM_LICENSE_FILE.

license_file_list

A colon-separated list on Linux platforms or a semicolon-separated list on Windows platforms. If license_file_list is the null string (""), the specified entry is deleted.

Note:

lmpath works by setting $HOME/.flexlmrc on Linux platforms and the FLEXnet Licensing registry entry on Windows platforms.

To display the current license path settings, use the command

lmpath -status
