LM-X End-user utility

The LM-X End-user utility lets you get the HostID values for the computer system. For machine-locked licenses, application vendors will use 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 screen

The LM-X End-user utility may be run by any user; you do not need administrator privileges to run the utility. The lmxendutil command usage is as follows. Optional parameters are enclosed in square brackets ( [ ] ). Variables are shown in italic text.
