Licensing

Only floating style licenses are available for LemonTree.Connect.Automation. To deliver this license to your agent you can either utilize a central rlm server or use the RLM Cloud service. This way your agents only request their license during runtime managing check-out and -in automatically. You still need a .lic file locally but with only one line.

HOST (Hostname) ANY (Port)

This file has to be either in the same working directory as your executable or be added to any command via --license argument. If a folder is specified, the first found .lic license is used. For more information on our licenses in general please check the Licensing or contact support@lieberlieber.com.

Logging

Lemontree Automation logs to the console by default. This output can be redirected to a file, methods here differ on the console used but usually the > operator is used.

Every command can be extended with a --verbosity option to set the logging level. Allowed values are:

• quiet (default)
• minimal
• normal
