Before You Start

The FlexNet License Server Administrator command-line tool is run from the command line, using the flexnetlsadmin script or batch file (in Windows, flexnetlsadmin.bat). The general syntax for executing flexnetlsadmin commands is the following:

flexnetlsadmin -server licenseServer_baseURL [-authorize accountName accountPassword] ‑command_option [command_option_arguments] [-command_option...]

The general syntax for flexnetlsadmin commands uses the license server’s base URL, indicated by licenseServer_baseURL in the command. For more information about this URL, see Base URL for the License Server in Getting Started.

A reference of all available flexnetlsadmin commands is available at the end of this section (see Summary of flexnetlsadmin Commands). You can also run flexnetlsadmin with the -help option to display brief descriptions of all the commands:
