  • System administration (Administrator) privileges.
  • A valid license.dat license file.
  • (Linux only) To run the FLEXlm lmgrd license server manager, make sure that the /usr/tmp directory exists.
To launch a new license server:
At a command prompt, type:
  • Windows*
    <installation-directory>\bin64\lmgrd -c \path\to\license.dat
  • Linux:
    <installation-directory>/linux/lmgrd -c /path/to/license.dat
