Recovering a Lost License

A license may be reported in use when it is not. This can be caused by the length of time licenses are held by the vendor daemon after the application checks licenses in or exits (the length of time set by the LINGER option in the daemon_options file) or if a system goes down while licensed software is in use. Use the lmstat command to get the status of the active licenses (see the lmstat man page for usage and options). If a license is reported in use when it is not being used, use the lmremove man page to recover the license (see the lmremove command for usage and options).
