How to Check the Status of a License Server

On a remote server requiring the license:

#See some help messages
$ lmstat -h

See everything
$ lmstat -a

On the license server:

#Grab the port number
$ cat /usr/local/lsf/conf/license.dat

You can try to telnet to that port by
$ telnet localhost port_number

On the remote server:

#This will check the status of the license server on the remote server
$ lmstat -a -c port_number@license_server_address
