Restart the ns licensing process;via "kill -9 "

Via Shell:

#find the PID name:Shows 1510 in this test:
root@labadc# ps aux | grep "nslped"
root 1510 0.0 0.0 37168 8680 ?? Is 17Dec21 2:43.84 nslped

#Kill the process with -9 and the PID found at the previous step

root@labadc# kill -9 1510

#after this the license client should start with a different PID. See this shows 67515 now (new PID)

root@labadc# ps aux | grep "nslped"

root 67515 0.3 0.0 35120 5604 ?? S 8:08PM 0:00.11 nslped -P

After this the licensing server should connect and show the status allocated. Grace mode will be cleared.
