Command-Line Utilities
All license server utilities are packaged as a single executable called lmutil. The lmutil is either installed as individual commands (either by creating links to the individual command names, or making copies of lmutil as the individual command names), or as a wrapper that runs the individual command as lmutil command. For example, lmutil lmstat or lmutil lmdown.
On Windows systems, the lmutil command form of the commands are available. There is also a graphical user interface available for these commands—see lmtools (Windows only).
