ls_tv Command

AIX Version 4.3 Commands Reference, Volume 3

ls_tv Command

Purpose

Verifies that license servers are working.

Syntax

ls_tv [ -h | -usage ] [ -version ]

Description

The ls_tv tool requests a concurrent-use license from a license server and prints a list of active license servers.

If you can run ls_tv successfully but are still having a problem with a license product, the problem is probably with the licenses, or possibly with the product itself: in this case, talk to the vendor of the licensed software product.

If you cannot run ls_tv successfully and receive one of the error messages listed below, use the explanation of the error to fix the problem. Then try running ls_tv again.

If you cannot run ls_tv successfully and receive an error that is not listed below, it means there is a problem with the software on which the license server is layered (for example, TCP/IP or NCS), or a hardware problem.
