Chapter 18: Managing Licenses from Multiple Software PublishersOne System with One License Server and Multiple License Files• Output from all vendor daemons goes into one common debug log unless separate debug logs are specifiedwith DEBUGLOG in each vendor daemon’s options file. Having one common debug log makes it harder todebug a single vendor daemon’s problem.• Maximizes licensing load to one system and one license server manager.Starting the License ServerIn this configuration, you start one license server on a single machine. The license server uses multiple license files(and hence possibly multiple vendor daemons). Use lmadmin or lmgrd as the license server manager.Using lmadminWhen using lmadmin, you can start the license server using the lmadmin user interface or a command line.Starting the License Server Using the User InterfaceTask:To use the lmadmin user interface to start the license server1.
