Hey Nathan,

thanks for your reply. I quickly checked lmutil -h and rlm -h on the
command line to see the available options
to check for a license, but found it quite convoluted.
Would you mind sharing the command line parms you use to query the license
information for a render license on nuke for example?

Thanks,
Timm
