Tells the license daemon to reread the license file

lmreread [–c

–clicense_file

license_file]

Use the specified license file. If this switch is not specified, lmreread looks for the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE. If the environment variable is not set, it looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.

Description	lmreread allows the system administrator to tell the license daemon to reread the
	license file. This can be useful if the data in the license file has changed; the new
	data can be loaded into the license daemon without shutting down and restarting it.
	lmreread uses the license file from the command line (or the default file, if none
	specified) only to find the license daemon to send it the command to reread the
	license file. The license daemon always rereads the original file that it loaded. If
	you need to change the path to the license file, then you must shut down the
	daemon and restart it with that new license file path.
	You cannot use lmreread if the SERVER node names or port numbers have been
	changed in the license file. In this case, you must shut down the daemon and restart
	it in order for those changes to take effect.
	lmreread does not change any option information specified in an options file. If
	the new license file specifies a different options file, that information is ignored. If
	you need to reread the options file, you must shut down the daemon and restart it.
