How to execute the command lmutil lmstat without changing the binary location on the Rational license server machine

Question & Answer


Question

How do you execute the command "lmutil lmstat" from a command prompt without changing to the binary location?

Cause

Windows Indexing will not recognize the command until the folder is changed to the location where the binary executable is stored.

Answer

Update the system variable path on the License Server to point to the lmutil binary location.

  1. Open the Environment Variables window

    Note:
    * On a Windows 32 bit OS Environment Variable can be launched using Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Environment Variables
    * On a Windows 64 bit OS Environment Variable can be launched using Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Environment Variables

  2. Click the Path variable under the System variables and click Edit



  3. Scroll to the beginning of the Variable value entry



  4. Add one of the following paths followed by a semi-colon
    • 32 bit path: C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalRLKS\common\
    • 64 bit path: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalRLKS\common\

  5. Click OK and close the window

  6. Launch a command prompt
    Note: Launch with Run as administrator option on 64 bit OS

  7. Type the following command

    lmutil lmstat -a -c port@servername


This would return a Feature Usage Report similar as below showing that the command can be run without navigating to the binary directory.

C:\Windows\System32>lmutil lmstat -a -c 27000@localhost
