the license_file is the license.dat used by the license manager for all 
its configuration (port, single/redundant server, software licensed)
Use the file that is used for your license server.  They are specific to 
each installation.

lmstat uses the info in the file to figure out which host(s) the server(s) 
are running on.

check_flexlm currently only verifies that the flexlm license manager is 
running - it does not verify the state of any secondary vendor daemons.
