     NAME
          lmgrd - flexible license manager daemon

     SYNOPSIS
          lmgrd [ -2 ] [ -b ] [ -c license_file ] [ -d ]
                [ -l logfile ] [ -p ] [ -s interval ]
                [ -t timeout ]

     DESCRIPTION
          lmgrd is the main daemon program for the FLEXlm  distributed
          license  management  system.   When  invoked, it looks for a
          license file containing all required information about  ven-
          dors and features.

     OPTIONS
          -2        Specifies V2 startup arguments.  This is the oppo-
                    site  of  the  -b  switch.  Note that -2 switch is
                    REQUIRED if you  intend  to  use  the  -p  switch.
                    (Available in lmgrd v2.4 and later.)

          -b        Specifies backward compatibility mode.   Use  this
                    switch  if  you  are running a v2.1 or later lmgrd
                    with a v1.5 or earlier vendor daemon.   Note  that
                    in  FLEXlm  v2.4  or  later  the  -b switch is the
                    default.

          -c license_file
                    Use the specified license_file.  If this switch is
                    not  specified,  lmgrd  looks  for the environment
                    variable  LM_LICENSE_FILE.   If  that  environment
                    variable  is  not  set,  lmgrd  looks for the file
                    /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.

          -d        Specifies that hostnames which are read  from  the
                    license  file  should  have  the local domain name
                    appended to them before sending to a client.  This
                    is useful when clients are accessing licenses from
                    another domain.   (Available  in  lmgrd  v2.4  and
                    later.)

          -l logfile
                    Specifies the output log file to use.
 
          -p        Specifies that the lmdown and  lmremove  utilities
                    can  only  be  run by a "license administrator". A
                    "license administrator" is a member of the lmadmin
                    group,  or,  if  the lmadmin group does not exist,
                    then a member of group  0.   (Available  in  lmgrd
                    v2.4 and later.)

          -s interval
                    Specifies  the  logfile  timestamp  interval,   in
                    minutes.  The default is 360 minutes.

          -t timeout
                    Specifies the timeout interval, in seconds, during
                    which  daemons  must complete their connections to
                    each other.  The default value is 10  seconds.   A
                    larger  value  may be desirable if the daemons are
                    being run on busy systems or a very heavily loaded
                    network.

     ENVIRONMENT
          If no -c option is specified, lmgrd looks for  the  environ-
          ment  variable  LM_LICENSE_FILE in order to find the license
          file to use.  If that environment variable is not set, lmgrd
          looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
