Update the Perforce license file.This command requires a valid
license file in the Perforce root directory.Typically this command
lets an administrator add extra licensed users to the Perforce server
without having to shut the server down and copy the license file to
the server root.
Most new license files obtained from Perforce can be installed with
this command, unless the server's IP address or port has changed.
In that case, stop the server, copy the new license file to the root,
and restart the server.
The -o flag writes the license file to the standard output.
The -i flag reads a license file from the standard input.
The -u flag reports the license limits and how many entities are in
use towards the limits.
The -L flag lists valid server IP and MAC addresses to be used when
requesting a valid license from Perforce Support.
This command requires 'super' access (or 'admin' for '-u'),
which is granted by 'p4 protect'.
