Description

General Description: This patch updates the licpoll binary to fix the issue of the missing first
poll and enables support on Shared Licenses in LM-X and RLM in licpoll.
 
 Detailed Description: 
Five minutes worth of data (0.08) are missing in an hourly report usage of licpoll. It shows 0.92
instead of 1 hour. This is because the licpoll polls 5 minutes late. This patch updates the licpoll
binary to start polling as it should to have a complete elapsed time in the report.
 
openit_licpoll.exe was modified for RLM to support shared licenses and for licpoll to collect
license status properly from RLM when license file is configured in licpoll.xml. License file is
only needed for features that has shared attributes. It is not required if the feature is not shared
license.
 
 To activate shared license in RLM configuration, add these two objects in licpoll.xml under RLM.
 <Object>
     <Name>license-file</Name>
     <Description>RLM license file.</Description>
     <Value type="FileName">[rlm-license-file]</Value>
 </Object>
 <Object>
     <Name>license-dir</Name>
<Description>RLM license file directory. (If this object has value, "license-file" is
ignored.)</Description>
     <Value type="DirName">[rlm-license-dir]</Value>
 </Object>
