This section provides, in alphabetical order, reference information for Mentor and some FlexNet command-line and GUI licensing utilities. The beginning of each utility description shows the applicable operating system.
On Linux, find the Mentor commands in the .../mgls/bin directory in the application tree or in the mgls_version.vco/bin directory in the licensing tree. For example: /usr1/mgls_v9-13_5-2-0.aol/bin.
On Windows, access the GUI utilities through the Start menu, and find the command-line utilities in the C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing directory.
For detailed information about the FlexNet Licensing utilities, refer to the FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide published by Flexera Software.
Mentor Standard Licensing currently does not support the lmadmin command. Use the commands listed in this appendix to manage your license server, and disregard the lmadmin documentation in the FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide.
