LMREREAD(1)

     NAME
          lmreread - tells the license daemon to reread the license
          file

     SYNOPSIS
          lmreread [ -c license_file ] [ daemon ]

     DESCRIPTION
          lmreread allows the system administrator to tell the license
          daemon to reread the license file.  This can be useful if
          the data in the license file has changed; the new data can
          be loaded into the license daemon without shutting down and
          restarting it.

          lmreread uses the license file from the command line (or the
          default file, if none specified) only to find the license
          daemon to send it the command to reread the license file.
          The license daemon will always reread the original file that
          it loaded.  If you need to change the path to the license
          file read by the license daemon, then you must shut down the
          daemon and restart it with that new license file path.

          You can not use lmreread if the SERVER node names or port
          numbers have been changed in the license file.  In this
          case, you must shut down the daemon and restart it in order
          for those changes to take effect.

          lmreread does not change any option information specified in
          an options file.  If the new license file specifies a
          different options file, that information is ignored.  If you
          need to reread the options file, you must shut down the
          daemon and restart it.

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

          daemon    will only perform reread on one daemon.  This
                    switch is recommended where a license file
                    includes more than one daemon.
