LM_TIMER(3)

NAME
lm_timer - does periodic verification of license manager connection

SYNOPSIS
#include <lm_client.h>

void lm_timer()

DESCRIPTION
lm_timer() is the function which must be periodically called to ensure that the licenses in use by the process are still valid. Normally, FLXElm automatically calls this function at intervals specified by options in the call to lm_setup(). If your program can not tolerate the use of the timers by FLEXlm, you can tell FLEXlm not to use any interval timers, and you can do it yourself.

To use your own interval timing mechanism, set the check_interval and retry_interval options to -1 in the call to lm_setup() . Then make sure that you call lm_timer() periodically so that the licenses will be verified.
