When new software is licensed at your site or additional seats are purchased, the license file must be edited to reflect these changes. A new FEATURE or UPGRADE line may be added if new software is purchased. If the number of seats for an existing FEATURE or UPGRADE line has been changed, these lines can be replaced with new ones provided by ESRI Customer Service or your international distributor. In either case, the license manager daemons must be informed of the changes before they can be made available.
Use the lmreread option to the licensing utility, lmutil, to inform the license manager daemons of these changes. The lmreread option does not shut down the daemons and thus can be executed at any time. Once the license file has been edited, save your file and then execute lmutil lmreread.
1. Copy the new lines into your existing license.dat file and save the file as license.dat in your /sysgen directory.
2. rlogin to your license server using the administrator account who started the license manager daemons.
3. Change directory into your $ARCHOME/sysgen or $SDEHOME/sysgen directory.
4. Execute LMUTIL LMREREAD at the command prompt to update the license daemons with the changes in the license file.
% ./lmutil lmreread -c license.dat
