Using FLEXlm License Management Utilities
FLEXlm provides license management utilities that you can use to monitor the license manager. These utilities are available at the command line or through a graphical user interface.
Using the lmutil Command
The lmutil
command, available in the $MATLAB\flexlm
folder, provides access to all the FLEXlm license management utilities. To view a list of all the capabilities of the lmutil.exe
utility, open a Command Prompt window, go to the $MATLAB\flexlm
folder and type
The following table lists the names of the most useful tools available through lmutil
. For more detailed information, see the FLEXlm End User Manual, included in PDF format in your MATLAB installation ($MATLAB\flexlm\enduser.pdf
).
For example, to view the current status of the license manager, open a DOS command prompt window and enter the lmutil
command, specifying the name of the lmstat
utility. The example uses the -a
option to get a verbose listing of available licenses and the -c
option to specify the location of the License File to use. You must specify the -c
option with every tool invoked through lmutil.exe
.
The utility returns the following information about the current license manager status.

Using the FLEXlm Utilities Graphical User Interface
FLEXlm provides a graphical user interface (GUI), called LMTOOLS
, to its license management utilities. The GUI provides access to the same set of tools as the lmutil
command and displays the results returned in an integrated display window.
For example, to use LMTOOLS
to monitor the status of network license activity, perform this procedure:
LMTOOLS
by double-clicking the lmtools.exe
file in the $MATLAB\flexlm
folder.
LMTOOLS
displays the same information as if you had entered the command lmutil lmstat -a
.
