How to determine the version of the FLEXlm License Manager and Rational Vendor Daemon

Question & Answer


Question

How do you determine the vendor daemon and lmgrd version in a FLEXlm installation?

Cause

The typical FLEXlm license server installation comes with designated versions for lmgrd and vendor daemon, however it has been seen that the FLEXlm installation is at times configured with custom FLEXlm binaries. It is possible that the lmgrd components could have been procured directly from Flexera Software.

Answer

Instructions on Windows:

  1. Launch command prompt (Start > Run > type cmd)

  2. Navigate to the <Installation_Dir>/common
    Note: This directory will be different for different versions of the license server. If the default directory is different in your environment, you need to specify the full path to the vendor daemon to run the command in step #3.

    For example:  lmutil lmver <path_to_the binary>/lmgrd

  3. Run the following commands:
    • For the lmgrd version

      lmutil lmver lmgrd
    • For the vendor daemon version

      lmutil lmver <name_of_vendor daemon>
Example:
C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalRLKS\common>lmutil lmver lmgrd
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2009 Flexera Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
FLEXnet Licensing v11.8.0.0 build 80733 i86_n3 (lmgr.lib), Copyright (c) 1988-20
09 Flexera Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Note: This example shows the lmgrd version shipped with IBM Rational License Server version 8.1.x.



Instructions on UNIX and Linux:
  1. Open a prompt

  2. Navigate to <Installation_Dir>/base/cots/flexlm.X.X.X/<platform>

    Note: If the default directory is different in your environment, you need to specify the full path to the vendor daemon to run the command in step #3.

    For example:  lmutil lmver <path_to_the binary>/lmgrd

  3. Run the following commands:
    • For the lmgrd version

      lmutil lmver lmgrd
    • For the vendor daemon version

      lmutil lmver <vendor_daemon_name>
