The lmstat tool prints information that it receives from the license server; therefore, it does not report on unserved licenses such as uncounted licenses. To report on an uncounted license, the license must be added to a served license file and the application must be directed to use the license server for that license file (via @host, port@host, or USE_SERVER). Queued users and licenses shared due to duplicate grouping are also not returned by lmstat.
- Syntax and Options
lmstat [-a] [-c license_file_list] [-f [feature]] [-i [feature]] [-s [server]][-S [vendor]] [-t timeout_value]
- -a
Displays all information.
- -c license_file_list
Specifies the license files to use.
- -f [feature]
Displays the users of feature. If feature is not specified, usage information for all features is displayed.
- -i [feature]
Displays information from the FEATURE/INCREMENT line for the specified feature or for all features if feature is not specified.
- -s [server]
Displays the status of all license files in $VENDOR_LICENSE_FILE or $LM_LICENSE_FILE on server or on all servers if server is not specified.
- -S [vendor]
Lists all users of the specified vendor's features.
- -t timeout_value
Sets the connection timeout to timeout_value. This limits the amount of time lmstat spends attempting to connect to server.
Note:
The lmstat -a command is a potentially expensive command. With many active users, this command generates a lot of network activity.
The lmremove tool requires the output of the lmstat -a command, as shown in the example below.
- Example
The output for the command
flex_install_dir/os/code/bin/lmstat -a
looks similar to the following:
License server status: 27000@firestar
License file(s) on firestar: flex_install_dir\win_b64\code\bin\simulialm.lic:
firestar: license server UP (MASTER) v11.6
Vendor daemon status (on firestar):
AbaqusLM: UP v11.6
