license server
The information on this page refers to v4.4.3 and later, which introduced an installation program that installs both LM-X License Server and the end-user tools and removed some commands from lmx-serv. For applicable to earlier versions, see documentation for previous versions.

The lmx-serv command will let you run the license server as a service in Windows or as a daemon in the background on Unix. However, it is recommended that you use the provided installer to install and start the license server instead of using lmx-serv.

The lmx-serv command usage is as follows.

For Windows:

Command

Options

lmx-serv

[-config configfile -licpath licensefile -logfile logfile -port portnumber]

For Unix:

Applies to

 

-background

-b

Unix

Run the license server as a daemon in the background.

-config

-c

All

Specify an optional path to an lmx-serv.cfg configuration file. Typing the full path is required. If the server is run without the -c parameter, it will use default settings.

-licpath

-l

All

Specify an optional license file path that will be read in addition to those specified within the lmx-serv.cfg configuration file.
Alternatively, you may specify a directory in which the license server will look for all .lic files. You can specify multiple paths, separated by a semicolon ( ; ) for Windows or a colon ( : ) for Unix; for example, "-l C:\dir1;c:\dir2."

If no default license is defined in the configuration file and the -l parameter is not specified (or no license can be found in given location), the server will look for all .lic files in its directory.

-logfile

-lf

All

Specify an optional logfile path, which will override any logfile settings in the lmx-serv.cfg configuration file.

-port

-p

All

Specify an optional port number, which will override the port number set in the configuration file.

-help

-h

All
