To verify the status of a server instance, complete the following steps:
Open a system command prompt.
Enter the following command:
mps-status [-C path/]server_name
where:
-C —
Path to the server instance and configuration you want to create. path/path should
end with the server name.
server_name
Upon successful completion of the command, the server status displays.
In addition to the status of the server, mps-status also
displays the status of the license server associated with the server
you are verifying.
Possible statuses and their meanings follow:
| This License Server Status Message... | Means... |
|---|---|
License checked out | The server is operating with a valid license. The server is communicating with the License Manager, and the proper number of license keys are checked out. |
WARNING: lost connection to license server - request processing will be disabled at time unless connection to license server is restored | The server has lost communication with the License Manager, but the server is still
fully operational and will remain operational until the specified
time. At time, if connectivity to
the license server has not been restored, request processing will be disabled until
licensing is reestablished. |
ERROR: lost connection to license server - request processing disabled | The server has lost communication with the License Manager for a period of time exceeding the grace period. Request processing has been suspended, but the server actively attempts to reestablish communication with the License Manager until it succeeds, at which time normal request processing resumes. |

This example shows how to verify the status of the server instance you started in the previous example.
In this example, you verify the status of prod_server_1,
from a location other than the server instance folder (C:\tmp\prod_server_1).
Open a system command prompt.
To verify prod_server_1 is running,
enter this command:
mps-status -C \tmp\prod_server_1
If prod_server_1 is running, the following
status is displayed:
\tmp\prod_server_1 STARTED license checked out
This output confirms prod_server_1 is running
and the server is operating with a valid license.
For more information on the STOPPED status,
see mps-stop and
mps-restart.
