I’ve installed GTSuite software on my machine running release 9.4 , and flexlm license manager software was installed as well. Generally one can run flexlm commands such as “lmgrd -c license.dat -| log.log” or “lmutil lmdown -c license.dat” to start, stop, and interogate the license manager, but the response I get when trying to run any of the flexlm utilities is “bash: lmutil: command not found…” for example. Thanks, Vince
When you type a command, bash checks directories on its list (PATH) for executable file with that name. If none has it, then you get the “command not found”.
How?
Ideally, every software is available as RPM-packages for the package manager (dnf) to install them. Most of such packages place the executables into directory that is on the PATH.
(Some packages don’t. For example, the gcc-toolset-13 packages have commands elsewhere, but it provides a way to add that location to PATH when there is a need to use them.)
If the “GTSuite” is not distributed as RPM-packages, then it is way more up to the user to know where did you install to? (Installing to system directories would be bad as it can conflict with files of managed packages.)
They may installed it under /opt … @VinceJ do a find / -name “lmgrd” as root to find where are the binaries no big deal.
The installation directory is /opt/GTI/flexlm. I added this to my PATH. I’ll paste what I’m seeing below, but one thing that is odd is there is a lmgrd.exe file and an lmgrd file. The lmgrd file has a file size of zero.

when I run the command to “getid” it works, so PATH is correct. The only thing I added to this folder from the original installation are the license.dat and license2.dat files.
it seems, for me, that lmutil needs some additional params , BTW I think you need to start the FLEXlm license server first, ie lmgrd -c xxxxxx -l logfile & , where xxxxxxx is the full-path and the license file ie /opt/GTI/flexlm/license.dat in your case if the license.dat is on that directory
Not sure if this may fix your problem ?
