OS: Linux, Windows
(FlexNet) Tells the license daemon to reread the license file and start any new vendor daemons that have been added. This command is useful for adding new licenses or for picking up simple changes to the options file such as defining a new LM_PROJECT.
If you replace the license file or make changes to the options file that involve restricting access to licenses, we recommend that you use the lmdown command and then restart the license server instead of using the lmreread command. Scheduling a restart helps mitigate problems that may result when you remove access for a user or host that already has the license checked out.
lmutil lmreread [-c {license_file | port@host}] [-vendor vendor] [-all]
Uses the specified license file, which is the full path to the license file, or uses the license server port (port@host). If you specify more than one component, you must separate each with a colon in Linux or a semicolon in Windows.
Specifies only one specific vendor daemon to reread the license file. Use the lmgrd command to restart the vendor daemon, if necessary.
Instructs all instances of lmgrd to reread the license file if more than one lmgrd is specified.
The lmreread command enables the system manager to tell the license daemon to reread the license file. If data in the license file has changed, the new data can be loaded into the license daemon without its needing to be shut down and restarted.
The license daemon always rereads the original loaded file. If you need to change the path to the license file, you must shut down and then restart the daemon with the new license file path.
You cannot use lmreread if the server name or port numbers have been changed in the license file. For these changes to take effect, you must shut down and restart the daemon.
If you specify a vendor daemon name, only that vendor’s licenses and options file are reread.
The following example tells the license daemon to reread the license.txt license file and shows an example of the command results.
