Checking the License Server Status

Windows

Any time you change the license.dat file or stop and restart the license manager you should check the server's status. Also, if users report they can't get a license, a good place to start checking for problems is to insure that the service is running correctly and that licenses are available. Use the lmtools.exe program to check the server status as needed.



lmtools dialog box for checking server status.
  1. select the tab called: Server Status


  2. Click on the button: Perform Status Enquiry.


  3. After a second or two details will appear in the text window. Scroll down and you can see which products are licensed, how many licenses are available and which users (if any) are accessing licenses.
