LS_STAT                           Domain/OS                            LS_STAT



NAME
     ls_stat - Display the status of the license server system

SYNOPSIS
     ls_stat

     ls_stat {-t | -i | -a | -u user_name } [[-n server ][ -v vendor ][ -p
     product ] [ -r version | -z ]] | [ -h | -usage | -version ]

DESCRIPTION
     The ls_stat command displays, in the transcript pad below the ls_stat
     window, status information on licenses. Note that end users as well as
     system administrators may find ls_stat useful for finding out the status
     of licenses in an NetLS system.

     ls_stat features both a command-line and graphic interface.  If all
     options are omitted, ls_stat invokes a graphic interface.  Both
     interfaces are described here.

     In graphic interface mode, you can get help by placing the cursor on any
     button and pressing SHIFT/HELP.
