this is what I was after /etc/init.d/PowerELMS start -l  thanks
Hi,  I am trying to license PowerPath 5.8 using a Served .lic file and the PowerPath vapp in an ESXi 5.1 environment.  I have copied the .lic file to /etc/emc/licenses on the vapp and can list the hosts from the vapp.  The hosts are showing as "license not installed" when I issue rpowermt host= version   When I attempt to register them I get "unable to connect to license server"  How can I specify the license server?
License PowerPath VE & vApp
