MATLAB: Does running lmreread tell me to run lmstart instead of rereading the license file on the unix based license manager

MATLAB

When running $MATLABROOT/etc/lmreread, I get the following message:
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
     Please use lmstart instead . . .
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
After running lmreread, no reread is performed.

Best Answer

This is expected behavior when running $MATLABROOT/etc/lmreread (where $MATLABROOT is the root MATLAB directrory). To read changes to the license file or options file, you must stop and restart the license manager using the lmdown and lmstart scripts. Using lmreread is not recommended by MathWorks.
