Administration

This appendix provides background information on licensing in Prolifics. To manage Prolifics usage, the Flexible License Manager (FLEXlm), a product of Globetrotter Software, Inc., is used. FLEXlm Version 5.0 is installed with Prolifics as part of the installation process only on server machines.

The appendix describes the license options file and the following FLEXlm license administration utilities provided with Prolifics.

`lmcksum — Performs a checksum of a license file.

`lmdiag — Diagnoses licensing problems.

`lmdown — Gracefully shuts down the license daemons on all nodes.

`lmgrd — Starts the license manager daemon.

`lmhostid — Prints the correct hostid value on any machine supported by FLEXlm.

`lmremove — Removes a single user’s license for a specified feature.

`lmreread — Causes the license daemon to reread the license file and start any new vendor daemons that have been added.
