Dell NetWorker 19.11 Licensing Guide

Start the License Server without a license file

If you have not obtained a license file, you can start the License Server by using the lmgrd command. When you add a license file, you can also run a command to re-read the file.

1. To start the License Server without copying a license file to the license directory, from a command prompt, type the following command:
   #./lmgrd -l
   /opt/dellemc/licenseserver/logs/lmgrd.log -c
   /opt/dellemc/licenses
2. To view the log file, type the following command:
   /opt/dellemc/licenseserver # cat /opt/dellemc/licenseserver/logs/lmgrd.log
3. To view what is running as the License Server, type the following command:
   /opt/dellemc/licenseserver # ps -aef | grep lmgrd
4. After you obtain a license file, copy the file to the license directory, /opt/dellemc/licenses.
5. To reread the license file, type the following command:
   #lmutil lmstat -a -c /opt/dellemc/licenses
   #lmutil lmreread -c /opt/dellemc/licenses
