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>
