Chapter 3 - Setting up Redundant License Servers and License Balancing
The lslic command installs or deletes a license. If you do not include necessary
information on the command line, lslic will ask for the missing information.
When you enter a license code, if you are entering an encrypted license code,
type only the characters before the # symbol.
lslic can add or delete licenses without stopping and restarting the license server,
but the change is temporary unless you use an option that makes the change to
the license file.
To add redundant license codes:
1. Set the LSFORCEHOST environment variable to point to the remote
license server containing the redundant license file to which you want to
add the license codes. (Or use lslic on the computer on which the license
server resides in the same directory as the license server.)
2. On the operating system command line, type:
lslic option
where option is one of the following lslic options:
Option Description
-ad license-code dist-crit Adds a license code to the redundant license servers without updating the
redundant license file.
This change is temporary and in effect only until the license server is
restarted. If either the license code or the distribution criteria (how the tokens
of that license code will be distributed) is not specified, lslic will prompt for
that information. See below for information on the dist-crit format.
-Ad license-code dist-crit Adds a license code to the redundant license servers and updates the
redundant license file.
This change is permanent. If either the license code or the distribution criteria
(how the tokens of that license code will be distributed) is not specified, lslic
will prompt for that information. See below for information on the dist-crit
format.
-fd filename Adds all the license codes and distribution criteria in the file to the redundant
license server’s memory. (Change is temporary until the license server is
restarted.) See below for information on the file format.
