license server computers. For details on user privileges required to start and con-
figure a license server, see “User Privileges” on page 28 of “Chapter 2 - Config-

Option Description
-s license-file The name of the license file. If this is not specified, lsdecode uses
the default file name, lservrc, in the current directory. The location
of the license file can also be provided by the environment vari-
able, LSERVRC. You may also specify a text file containing a sin-
gle license code. You cannot use lsdecode to read a redundant
license file (default name lservrlf), but can use it to read a redun-
dant license code file containing an uninstalled redundant license
code.
-e license-config-file The name of the configuration file, which may be needed in case
readable license strings have been customized by remapping of
fixed strings. By default, lsdecode looks for license-file.cnf (for
example, lservrc.cnf). The location of the configuration file can
also be provided by the environment variable, LSERVRCCNF.
