where server is the host name, IP address, or IPX address of the license server,
and tokens is the number of license tokens you want to allocate to that server.
Separate each server’s allocation with a ^ symbol. If you do not include the
license code after the -Ad option, lslic asks you for it.
If your vendor has given you a license code file to install rather than a string of
characters to type, at the operating system command prompt, type:
lslic -Fd filename
where filename is the name of the file given to you by your vendor containing
the license code.
Note If the file does not contain a distribution criteria, then license tokens will be
distributed equally among all of the license servers. Or, to specify a distri-
bution criteria, add the following line after the license code in the file:
#DIST_CRIT:server1:tokens1^server2:tokens2...
where the line must begin with the characters #DIST_CRIT:, and the
server:tokens arguments follow the same format as discussed above.
Both of these commands install the license code permanently. lslic provides
other ways to install a license code. For example, you can add the license code to
the license server temporarily to be in effect only until the license server is
restarted.
For more information on redundant license servers and on using lslic to add
redundant licenses, see “Using lslic to Add Redundant Licenses” on page 51 of
“Chapter 3 - Setting up Redundant License Servers and License Balancing.”
Using the SentinelLM Utilities
One or more SentinelLM utilities may have been provided with your protected
application. These utilities help in the installation or configuration of the license
management system, and most users will not need to use them. They are prima-
rily used by network administrators to support network-licensed software. A few
