Releasing stuck licenses

A stuck license is a checked-out license that has not been returned to the pool of available licenses when one of the Validate tools terminates unexpectedly. If a Validate tool has one or more licenses checked out and it terminates, these licenses may not be checked back in automatically.

To release a stuck license, use the Reprise utility rlmremove. It is installed with the Validate package.

From <validate_install>/3rdparty/bin, run:

rlmutil rlmremove <server_host> <port> <isv_handle>

where

• <server_host> the name of your machine
• <port> is the port number of your machine
• <isv_handle> is the handle of the machine whose license you wish to remove given by the rlmstat utility

The user, user_host and display information must be obtained from the output of rlmstat

Note that in addition to releasing a stuck license, rlmremove starts, but does not override, the license's linger time.
