The information on this page refers to LM-X v5.4.1 or newer, which added the "-verifyauth" command and introduced brute-force password protection. If you are using a previous version of LM-X, please see the documentation for previous versions. |
The LM-X End-user utility lets you get the hostid HostID values for the computer system. For machine-locked licenses, application vendors will use hostid HostID values to create licenses specifically for your system. The LM-X End-user utility also lets you:
- See who is currently using specific licenses on the license server, and see the borrow, grace and trial licenses currently checked out
- Remotely access the license server
- Remove users from the license server
- Read and verify a usage database and print the usage information to the screenActivate a license

HostID values of your computer system. |
-licstat |
lmxendutil |
-licstat |
[- |
vendor <vendor_name> (-host <host> -port <port> | -hal <servers>) -network -borrow -grace -trial -denials] | Displays statistics and lists which users are currently using which licenses on a specific license server Note: The lmxendutil -licstat command does not use the environment variable LMX_LICENSE_PATH when querying the license server. A client application can find license servers on the network automatically, using automatic server discovery or the -host option. When -vendor is used, the statistics will be limited to the specified vendor. If -vendor is not used, information such as grace, borrow and trial checkouts may not be returned, because the vendor is unknown. Information for the borrow, grace and trial licenses currently checked out |
See below for descriptions of optional parameters -host and -port.
Information for all options is
is also returned unless one or more options are specified |
; for example, specifying -borrow will result in only borrow information being returned |
. If the -denials option is specified, this command additionally prints detailed information about denials for current and disconnected users for the past 24 hours, including username, hostname, IP address, login times, and denial times. | |

shutdownserver | lmxendutil -shutdownserver |
[-host |
host -port port -password password ] | Remotely shuts down the license server. | |
-readusagedb | lmxendutil -readusagedb usage.db | Reads the specified usage database and performs a verification, then prints the usage information to the screen. (See Pay Per Use feature.) |

[- |
feature feature [-version version] -host |

hostname | ||
-verifyauth | lmxendutil -verifyauth -host host -port port -password password | Verify the license server's credentials on the current or a foreign host. |
| Optional parameters | ||
Command | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -hal | -hal server1 server2 server3 | Optional parameter for specifying HAL servers, used only when HAL is enabled. You must specify three servers in port@host format; for example: lmxendutil -licstat -vendor VENDORNAME -hal 6200@localhost 6300@localhost 6400@localhost |
-host | -host host | Optional parameter that connects to the specified license server host. If you |
don't specify the -host option, lmxendutil command will perform autodiscovery. | ||
-port | -port port | Optional parameter that connects to license server on port 'myport'. If you do not enter this optional parameter, the default port is used. |
-password | -password password | Optional parameter that uses the specified password. If you do not use this optional parameter explicitly, you will be prompted for the password (in this case, the password you enter is not displayed on the screen as you type). |
Note that LM-X uses brute force password protection to prevent brute-force attacks. | ||
| -feature [-version] | -feature feature [-version version] | Optional parameter for use with -removeuser command that limits user removal to a specified user/host who has checked out a specified feature. For example: lmxendutil -removeuser -clientusername username -clienthostname hostname -feature feature [-version version] |
-readusagedb
lmxendutil -readusagedb usage.db
Reads the specified usage database and performs a verification, then prints the usage information to the screen. (See Pay Per Use.)
-activate

-orderid orderid The Order ID provided by the application vendor, with the format AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD.
-url url The activation URL provided by your application vendor, such as http://licservice.company.com.
Optional parameters:
-output output_fileSpecifies the name of the output file that will contain the activated license. By default, this filename is named license-current_date.lic and is saved to the current directory. Note that you should save the license to the location recommended by your application vendor.
-hostid type=value,... Specifies the hostid of the machine used to activate the license. By default, the Ethernet hostid of the current machine is used.
This default can be overridden to perform offline activations for other machines by specifying one or more hostids, which may be of the same or different types. For example, -hostid LONG=11223344556677,ETHERNET=AABB1122CCDD3344,...
Valid hostid types are: LONG, USERNAME, IPADDRESS, CUSTOM, DONGLE_HASPHL, ETHERNET, HOSTNAME, HARDDISK and WIN_PRODUCT_ID.
-proxyhost hostSpecifies the web-proxy hostname required to access the web.
-proxyport portSpecifies the web-proxy port associated with the proxy hostname.
-proxyuser usernameSpecifies the web-proxy user name.
-proxypassword passwordSpecifies the web-proxy user password.
