Instructions for Network Users

Using lcommute

Your network administrator will give you instructions on where to find the lcommute utility. From the UNIX or MS-DOS operating system prompt, navigate to the location of lcommute, and type the lcommute command, specifying the appropriate options listed below.

The lcommute options are:

Option

Description

-h

Display list of options.

-c:i

Check in an authorization for a commuter license.

-c:o

Check out an authorization for a commuter license.

-s:license server

Host name, IPX address, or IP address of the license server servicing the commuter license.

-f:feature

Name of feature. (This identifies which license you want to use.)

-v:version

Version. (This also identifies which license you want to use. If the license does not have a version, this can be omitted.)

-d:days

Number of days the commuter authorization will be checked out. Specify zero for unlimited check-out duration (only for use when you are using the -c:o option).

All relevant command line options have to be specified at the same time. If you do not specify any command-line options, lcommute will interactively ask you for the information it needs. Here is an example of lcommute use:

lcommute -s:Sales -c:o -f:99 -d:30

In this case, the license server to be contacted is Sales, the authorization is being checked out, the feature name identifying the commuter license is 99, the license does not have a version number (and so it is omitted), and the authorization is being checked out for 30 days.
