Verify the status that the License Manager is running
./lmfgetpv If it is running this command will return the version number of the running License Manager & the path from where it was loaded.
Starting the License Manger
./mflmman [FORCE | WAIT] [TRACE]
Force = The License Manager does not by default start up if there are still licensed tasks running that were started from a previous run. When this happens, you can use FORCE to force the License Manager to first terminate the previously started tasks & then to start.
Wait = This suspends the License Manager until any outstanding licensed tasks from a previous License Manager have finished. Use this when you do no want the existing licensed tasks to be terminated prematurely, and want to wait until they have finished naturally.
Trace = Creates a log of the License Manager activity in MF-LMF.log
Stopping the License Manager
./lmfgetpv k This will stop the License Manager
