Administrator Commands
WlmAdmin performs the following licensing administrative functions:
If you are not using redundant license servers, you can use WlmAdmin to:
See what licenses are being serviced by which license servers and see information on those licenses. You will see quite a bit of information on each license: whether it can be a commuter license, whether it is a capacity license, what capacity is used, what feature/version is licensed, how many users are using the license, the license expiration date, whether the license is a redundant license, how many tokens have been reserved, and so on.
See information on license servers.
For each license, see what users have acquired that license and what users are in a queue waiting for the license.
If you are using redundant license servers, you will be able to use WlmAdmin as an informational tool as discussed above, but will also be able to:
Add or delete a redundant license server from the redundant license server file.
Display a list of all license servers in the redundant license server pool and display the name of the license server leader.
Display the distribution criteria for specific licenses (only high assurance model is allowed, where the reigning leader server keeps all the license tokens).
A reservation file defines groups of users or computers for whom license tokens can be reserved. The reservation file also can be used to exclude specific users or computers from using certain licenses.
From the Edit menu of WlmAdmin, you can select the Reservation File command to call the WlsGrMgr utility to create a new reservation file or edit an existing one. For information on WlsGrMgr and reservation files, see Editing the Reservation File on Windows (WlsGrMgr).
The redundant license file defines which license servers make up the redundant license server pool.
From the Edit menu of WlmAdmin, you can select the Redundant License File command to call the WRlfTool utility to create a new redundant license file or edit an existing one. For information on WRlfTool and redundant license server pools, see Using WRlfTool to Create or Edit a Redundant License File.
In the license server pane of the main WlmAdmin window, right-click on the license server you want to shut down and select Shutdown Server from the menu. For information on privileges needed to shut down a server, see User Privileges.
