It can be run from the operating system command prompt by an administrative user on a stand-alone, client, or license server computer. It works for both stand-alone and network computers.

Tips on Using lslic

If you do not include necessary information on the command line, lslic will ask for the missing information.
You can use the LSFORCEHOST environment variable to add/delete licenses to a particular license server.
When you enter a license code, if you are entering an encrypted license code, type only the characters before the # symbol.
lslic can add or delete licenses without stopping and restarting the license server, but the change is only temporary unless you use an option that makes the change to the license file.
To use lslic to modify a license file or redundant license file for a license server on a remote computer, use the LSFORCEHOST environment variable to point your computer to the computer containing that license server. For information on adding redundant license codes, see Using lslic to Add Redundant Licenses.
If you are using lslic to modify a license file on a remote computer, you must have write-access to that computer.
