the server and the license.dat need to exist on the server that the plugin
is running on.  If you are using nrpe - install the plugin on the flexlm
server and make sure the path to lmstat is correct. - note the path is set
in "utils.pm" and not the plugin itself. so utils.pm needs to present and
the "use lib" statement in the plugin must include the directory where
"utils.pm" is copied.
