C.5. Maintenance

While the license server is essentially invisible and maintenance free, there are still some tasks that an administrator may need to perform.

All such operations are handled by invoking the same binary with other flags.

C.5.1. Stopping the Server

To stop the license server, issue the command:

/opt/acumem/license-server/bin/license-server --stop

Current leases are remembered while the server is down and if the license server is restarted, these will be assigned to the old users, provided they still request them.

C.5.2. Starting the Server

To manually start the license server, issue the command previously described:

/opt/acumem/license-server/bin/license-server --start --port port

C.5.3. Listing Current Leases

If a license server runs out of leases, it is useful to be able to list who is currently using the leases and on what machine. This can be done either on the server or from a client machines.

To list all licenses and checked out leases on the server, run the following command as the same user that runs the license server:

/opt/acumem/license-server/bin/license-server --list

On a client machine that has been set up to use a license server, run the following command:

/opt/acumem/freja/bin/license --list
