Question:
Is there any way to Start/Stop LMTOOLS from command line?
Answer:
Yes. Start lmgrd as an application from a Windows command shell using the following syntax:
C:\flexlm> lmgrd -c license_file_list -L [+]debug_log_path
Where,
• license_file_list is one or more of the following:
- the full path to a single license file
- a directory, where all files named *.lic in that directory are used
• debug_log_path is the full path to the debug log file
Prepending debug_log_path with the + character appends logging entries
We recommend referring to the chapter "Starting the License Server Manager on Windows" in the attached FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide. This section provides detailed instructions on how to manually start the license server from the command line.
And, the lmdown utility through lmutil.exe allows for the graceful shutdown of selected license daemons (both lmgrd and selected vendor daemons) on all machines.
To view the available command-line options, you can run the following command from your LMSERVER installation directory:
lmutil.exe lmdown -help
