NAME

lmremove − remove specific licenses and return them to license pool

SYNOPSIS

lmremove [ −c license_file ] feature user host display

DESCRIPTION

lmremove allows the system administrator to remove a single user’s license for a specified feature.  This could be required in the case where the licensed user was running the software on a node that subsequently crashed.  This situation will sometimes cause the license to remain unusable.  lmremove will allow the license to return to the pool of available licenses.  NOTE: In FLEXlm v2.4 and later, lmremove is either a link or a copy of the lmutil program. 

PARAMETERS

feature , user , host , and display describe the user’s license which is to be removed.  These parameters should be entered exactly as they are displayed by lmstat. 

OPTIONS

−c license_file
Use the specified license_file. If this switch is not specified, lmremove looks for the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE.  If that environment variable is not set, lmremove looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.  If no -c option is specified, lmremove looks for the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE in order to find the license file to use.  If that environment variable is not set, lmremove looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
