lmlicvalidator
The lmlicvalidator helps you to pre-validate a certificate license file (from a remote client) against a license server. It allows you to know in advance whether the license certificate works or not when it is applied on the license server. The utility requires a license server and a vendor daemon against which the certificate license file is to be validated. The utility performs the range of validations of the certificate presented starting with basic encoding checks, extension checks, keyword validations and syntactic, and correctness of the license certificate. It reports errors if found or print a validation complete message when the validation is complete.
