lmremove

The lmremove tool allows you to remove a single user's license for a specified feature. If the application is active, it rechecks out the license shortly after it is freed by lmremove. If an Abaqus process terminates abnormally, it may not return license tokens to the license pool even though the tokens are no longer needed. In this situation lmremove can be used to return Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Viewer tokens to the license pool. The user, user_host, display, server_host, port, and handle information must be obtained from the output of lmstat -a. The lmremove tool should not be used to return Abaqus analysis job tokens to the license pool; see Troubleshooting SIMULIA FLEXnet licensing for more information.

Note:

The lmremove tool does not free licenses for use by other jobs. To temporarily free a license for use by another job, a running analysis job can be suspended using the Abaqus suspend utility (refer to Job Execution Control, for details). A running analysis job can be terminated using the Abaqus terminate utility or the appropriate operating system utility to stop the executable for the analysis job. For an example of using the lmremove tool, see lmstat.
