This software utility, provided by Flexera, is designed to manage license servers, primarily for applications using the FlexNet Publisher license management system. It facilitates the starting, stopping, and reconfiguring of license daemons, and provides diagnostic capabilities for troubleshooting licensing issues. For instance, administrators utilize it to view the status of currently issued licenses or to read the license log file, providing valuable insight into license usage and potential problems.
Its importance lies in its ability to ensure continuous application availability by maintaining the health and proper functioning of the license server. The utility simplifies license server administration, reducing downtime and improving overall software asset management. Historically, it has evolved alongside the FlexNet Publisher licensing system, adapting to support new licensing models and technologies, thereby remaining a critical tool for organizations managing software licenses.
