Troubleshooting

Sometimes the port is unknown on which a license manager is running or the communications with the license manager is not working correctly. To aid in trouble shooting there are two parameter that can be entered in the - Enter Vendor  field.

FindPort  -  Will help find the port used by the license manager.  Uses the 'Port' parameter as the starting point, normally 27000, and incrementally checks upward several ports.

Debug - Creates a log entry for the COMPLETE output of the lmutil query.  Good for troubleshooting issues with licenses and types.
