LicensePing - Usage

LicensePing sends a ping request to LicenseServer to verify that the LicenseServer software is up and running.

Running the program with the option --help produces the following output:

Usage: LicensePing [options]
 -?,--help                   Displays this help message.
 -h,--hostname <name>        Specifies the license server's hostname.
 -i,--ip-address <address>   Sets the license server I/P address.
 -p,--port <port>            Sets the license server port number. Minimum port
                             number allowed=7500; maximum port number
                             allowed=7999; default port number=7969.
 -v,--verbose                Turns on verbose reporting to System.out.
 -ver,--version              Prints the software build version, and exits.

The response from the LicenseServer is of the form:

LicensePing: verified; PING-RESPONSE 1/2 licenses in use.

This shows that there are two floating licenses available, and one of them is already in use. When the LicenseServer is not running, or you have specified the wrong hostname, I/P address or port number, the response is like:

LicensePing: verify failed: Connection refused.
