NAME

lmgrd − flexible license manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

lmgrd [ −b ] [ −c license_file ] [ −d ] [ −l logfile ] [ −s interval ] [ −t timeout ]

DESCRIPTION

lmgrd is the main daemon program for the FLEXlm distributed license management system.  When invoked, it looks for a license file containing all required information about vendors and features. 

OPTIONS

−b Specifies backward compatibility mode.  Use this switch if you are running a v2.1 or later lmgrd with a v1.5 or earlier vendor daemon. 

−c license_file
Use the specified license_file. If this switch is not specified, lmgrd looks for the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE.  If that environment variable is not set, lmgrd looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat. 

−d Specifies that hostnames which are read from the license file should have the local domain name appended to them before sending to a client.  This is useful when clients are accessing licenses from another domain.  (Available in lmgrd v2.4 and later.) 

−l logfile Specifies the output log file to use. 

−s interval
Specifies the logfile timestamp interval, in minutes. The default is 360 minutes.

−t timeout Specifies the timeout interval, in seconds, during which daemons must complete their connections to each other.  The default value is 10 seconds.  A larger value may be desirable if the daemons are being run on busy systems or a very heavily loaded network. 

ENVIRONMENT

If no -c option is specified, lmgrd looks for the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE in order to find the license file to use.  If that environment variable is not set, lmgrd looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
