lmreread

The lmreread tool causes the license manager to reread the license file and start any new vendor daemons that have been added. In addition, all currently running vendor daemons are signaled to reread the license file and their end-user options files for changes in feature licensing information or option settings. If report logging is enabled, any report log data still in the vendor daemon's internal data buffer are flushed. lmreread recognizes changes to server machine host names but cannot be used to change server TCP/IP port numbers.

If the optional vendor daemon name is specified, only the named daemon rereads the license file and its end-user options file (in this case lmgrd does not reread the license file).

Syntax and Options

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

-c license_file_list

Use the specified license files.

-vendor vendor

Only this vendor daemon rereads the license file. lmgrd restarts the vendor daemon if necessary.

-all

If more than one lmgrd is specified, instructs all lmgrds to reread.

You may want to protect the execution of lmreread. See the -2 -p and -x options in FLEXnet license server manager lmgrd, 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.

Note:

If you use the -c license_file_list option, the license files specified are read by lmreread, not by lmgrd; lmgrd rereads the file it read originally.

To use LMTOOLS (Windows platforms) to run lmreread:

  1. From the Start menu, select ProgramsAbaqus LicensingLicensing utilities.

  2. Verify that Configuration using Services is enabled on the Service/License File tabbed page, and select the Start/Stop/Reread tab.

  3. Select SIMULIA FLEXnet License Manager, and click ReRead License File.
