vimsh (vmware-vim-cmd/vim-cmd) is only available on class ESX Service Console or unsupported ESXi busybox console.
There are no canned scripts on vMA that allow you to extract licensing information and licensing properties on vSphere 4.0 has changed significantly from VI 3.5.
You can access licensing info by looking at the licenseManager managed object which is part of the vSphere API: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.LicenseManager.html
If you just want to extract licensing info without writing your own script or learning how the API's work, you use either of these health check scripts:
VI 3.5 - VMware Health Check Report v0.9.4
vSphere 4.0 - VMware vSphere Health Check Report v1.2
which includes licensing information along with other pieces of information
