lmremove
NAME
lmremove - remove specific licenses and return them to license pool
SYNOPSIS
lmremove [ -c license_file ] { feature user host display } |
{ -h feature serverhost port handle }
DESCRIPTION
lmremove allows the system administrator to remove a single user’s license for a specified feature. This could be required in the case where the licensed user was running the software on a node that subsequently crashed. This situation will sometimes cause the license to remain unusable. lmremove will allow the license to return to the pool of available licenses.
PARAMETERS
There’s 2 modes for lmremove. In the first mode: feature, user, host and display describe the user’s license which is to be removed. These parameters should be entered exactly as they are displayed by lmstat. In the second mode, the handle displayed by lmstat is used: serverhost port handle appear together in parentheses in lmstat output, .e.g, joe cloud7 /dev/ttyp5 (v1.000) (cloud9/7654 102), start Fri 10/29 18:40
OPTIONS
-c license_file
Use the specified license_file. If this switch is not specified, lmremove looks for the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE. If that environment variable is not set, lmremove looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat. If no -c option is specified,
-h Indicates removal by handle number.
NOTES
UNIX systems typically install licenses in /var/flexlm/license.dat, not in /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
