        <h1>rlftool - Manages the Redundant License File</h1>
        <p>rlftool is a command line utility for Windows and UNIX. On a Windows 
 computer, use rlftool from within an MS-DOS window. However, you may find 
 using the Windows-interface <a href="Wrlftool.htm">WRlfTool</a> 
 program more convenient than using rlftool.</p>
        <p class="SFNT_Note">If you are 
 editing an existing redundant license file, to avoid synchronization problems 
 because someone else is adding licenses in the redundant license file 
 while you have it open, we recommend you make a copy of the file under 
 another name, make your changes, and then rename it back to its original 
 name when you are done. The changes you make to the redundant license 
 file will not take effect until you copy the changed file to a redundant 
 License Manager in the pool (or edit it directly on the License Manager 
 using the precautions discussed above) and then restart that server.</p>

                <p>To use rlftool in menu mode to create a new redundant license file, 
 from DOS type:</p>
                <p class="Code">rlftool</p>
                <p>Or, to modify an existing redundant license file, type:</p>
                <p class="Code">rlftool -l 
 redundant-license-file</p>
                <p>You then see a menu that lists the rlftool options. Type the number 
 of the option you want to use and press <span style="font-weight: bold;">Return</span>. 
 (At a minimum, you will want to use option 1 to create a new file, option 
 2 to add License Managers to the pool, and then option 7 to add license 
 codes.) To exit and save the file, type <span style="font-weight: bold;">12</span> 
 and press <span style="font-weight: bold;">Return</span>.</p>
                <p>Two options available when using rlftool in menu mode that are not available 
 as command-line options are:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="1"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Preference 
 Order</span> - The first redundant License Manager in the pool to be started 
 is by default the leader. However, by setting the preference order, you 
 can set the order in which the leader servers will be elected. If the 
 License Manager having first preference goes down, the License Manager with 
 second preference will be elected as the leader, and so on.</li>
                    <li class="Bullets_1" value="2"><span style="font-weight: bold;">View/Edit 
 License</span> - You can select an existing license to view, and may change 
 token allocations for that license.</li>
                </ul>
                <p>To use rlftool's tool command-line option, 
 type <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;font-size: 10pt;">rlftool</span> 
 followed by any of the desired options except <span style="font-weight: bold;">-</span>l 
 (which will take you to the menu). </p>
