Administer the Vendor Daemon

To change the vendor daemon configuration, click the Administer hyperlink in the vendor daemon summary grid. The following sections describe the configuration options. The license server management interface displays the following:

Vendor Daemon Port in Use: This field displays the TCP/IP port number that the vendor daemon uses for communication with FlexEnabled applications.
Stop: This button stops the vendor daemon, but leaves the license server manager (lmadmin) running. When you stop a vendor daemon, this button changes to Start.
Start: This button starts the vendor daemon. This button only appears when the vendor daemon is stopped. When you start the vendor daemon, the vendor daemon reads the license files and trusted storage to load the license rights into memory. When you start a vendor daemon, this button changes to Stop.
Reread License Files: This button rereads the contents of the license files, trusted storage, and any vendor daemon options file and then loads the information into memory. The license files specified in the License File or Directory field in the General Configuration section are reread, unless the contents of License File or Directory have been changed when a restart of the vendor daemon is required (see License File or Directory). Typically this button is used when the content of the license file or options file has been edited or trusted storage has been updated.
Report Log Name: Type a file name in which to save the current report log.
Rotate Report Logs: When you press this button, the license server renames the existing report log to the name in the Report Log Name field and creates a new empty report log file using the name in the options file. To use this capability, you must enable report logging using the options file.
