With many active users, this command generates a lot of network activity. The lmstat -a command is a potentially expensive command. This limits the amount of time lmstat spends attempting to connect to server. Sets the connection timeout to timeout_value.

To report on an uncounted license, the license must be added to a served license file and the application must be directed to use the license server for that license file (via or USE_SERVER). The lmstat tool prints information that it receives from the license server therefore, it does not report on unserved licenses such as uncounted licenses.
