Content of Keysight CAE license management kit 2025.12 on Linux ARMv8 (aarch64)

Description of this toolkit:

• FlexNet Publisher (FNP) pack 11.19.9.0

Licensing Server toolkit, composed of:

lmgrd
lmutil
pam_lmd
lmobfslog
enduser.pdf

Starting a license server in command line: lmgrd -c my-license-file.lic -l my-debug-log-file.log
Have a look at FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide delivered in this toolkit (page 113).

• Custom Vendor Utility generator : GetESIVDH.exe

This utility is used by KCAEGetHostID.sh script. There is no need to use it directly.

• Script delivered by Keysight : KCAEGetHostID.sh

Running KCAEGetHostID.sh script will get the required system information that will be used for the generation of license file.
The resulting text file KCAEGetHostIDComputerName_date.txt has to be sent to Keysight for license generation & support.

• Utility to obfuscate the usernames in the logs : lmobfslog

The lmobfslog utility processes the debug log file to generate the obfuscated usernames. Usage: lmobfslog [-i debug_log] [-o new_debug_log] <-rmarker>
Note: lmobfslog works only if the debug log has been produced with OBF_ADDMARK keyword. The lmobfslog utility can then generate obfuscated usernames in a new debug log.
To do, add the line DEBUGLOG "debug_log_path" OBF_ADDMARK in options file pam_lmd.opt.
see pages 166 and 193 in FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide delivered in this toolkit

• Script delivered by Keysight : esiflexdiag

esiflexdiag parses the content of a license file (given as argument) and displays lots of relevant details from a running license server.

Example of KCAEGetHostID outputs:

Here some example of outputs when running script ./KCAEGetHostID.sh to get system details:

1. When machine type is Physical:
