lslic - Installs/Deletes a License Code
The lslic utility can be used to add non-redundant license codes to the license file (lservrc) and redundant license codes to the redundant license configuration file (lservrlf), depending on which options are used.
lslic can be run on supported version of Windows and UNIX. It can be run from the operating system command prompt by an administrative user on a standalone, client, or License Manager computer. It works for both standalone and network computers.
