Chapter 12: Using License Administration ToolsCommand-Line UtilitiesNormally, to convert from decimal to readable format, lminstall is used with no arguments; you are prompted forthe name of the output license file. The default file name is today’s date in yyyymmdd.lic format. Move this file to theapplication’s default license file directory, if specified by the software publisher. Otherwise, use theLM_LICENSE_FILE or VENDOR_LICENSE_FILE environment variables to specify the directory where the *.lic files arelocated.To finish entering, type q on a line by itself or enter two blank lines.When an input file is specified with no output file specified, output goes to stdout; if neither input nor output file isspecified, lminstall assumes that input comes from stdin and prompts the user for an output file name.lminstall is also used to convert licenses from readable to decimal format and between different license versions.To convert from readable to decimal:lminstall -i in_lic_file -o out_lic_file -odecimalTo convert to v5.1 format:lminstall -i in_lic_file -o out_lic_file -overfmt 5.1To enforce a maximum line length of, for example, 50 characters:lminstall -maxlen 50Conversion errors are reported as necessary and can be written to a file by specifying -e err_file. lminstall hasa limit of 1,000 lines of input.lmnewlogThe lmnewlog utility switches the report log file by moving the existing report log information to a new file, thenstarting a new report log with the original report log file name. If you rotate report logs with lmnewlog instead oflmswitchr, you do not have to change the file name in the REPORTLOG line of the vendor daemon’s option file.Requires a version 7.1 or later vendor daemon.Usagelmnewlog [-c license_file_list] feature renamed_report_logor:lmnewlog [-c license_file_list] vendor renamed_report_logwhere:Table 12-8 • lmnewlog Argument UsageArgumentDescription-c license_file_list Use the specified license files.featureAny feature in this license file.License Administration Guide FNP-11111-LAG01 127
