Usage Notes

The pcls_ok application attempts to check out and check back in the license you specify and generates a success or failure message. If you receive a success message, the licenses can be checked out successfully from that workstation. If the license checkout fails, a dialog appears that provides you with more information about the cause of the failure. In the Mentor Install Program, use the Manage Licensing > License Utilities window and choose Manual environment editor to edit or rearrange your license environment settings.

PCLS includes a Win64 version of pcls_ok.exe named pcls_ok64.exe. You can run this binary only on Win64 machines.
