To configure the license server

You should be logged in with Administrator rights when working with the LMTOOLS utility.

1. Do one of the following:
   • (Windows XP) Click Start menu Programs Autodesk Network License Manager LMTOOLS.
   • (Windows Vista) Double-click the LMTOOLS icon on the desktop.
2. In the Lmtools program, on the Service/License File tab, select the Configure Using Services option.
3. Click the Config Services tab.
4. In the Service Name list, select the service name you want to use to manage licenses.

   By default, the service name is Flexlm Service 1. If FLEXnet® is managing other software in addition to Autodesk software on your computer, you can change the service name to avoid confusion, for example, you can rename Flexlm Service 1 to Autodesk Server1.

   NoteIf you have more than one software vendor using FLEXnet® for license management, the Service Name list contains more than one option. Make sure that only one Autodesk service is listed.
5. In the Path to Lmgrd.exe File box, enter the path to the Network License Manager daemon (lmgrd.exe), or click Browse to locate the file.

   By default, this daemon is installed in the \Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager folder.

6. In the Path to the License File box, enter the path to your license file, or click Browse to locate the file.
7. In the Path to the Debug Log File box, enter a path to create a debug log, or click Browse to locate an existing log file.
8. To run lmgrd.exe as a service, select Use Services.
9. To automatically start lmgrd.exe when the system starts, select Start Server at Power Up.
10. Click Save Service to save the new configuration under the service name you selected in step 4. Click Yes.
11. Click the Start/Stop/Reread tab.
12. On the Start/Stop/Reread tab, do one of the following:
    • If a service has not yet been defined for Autodesk, click Start Server to start the license server.
    • If a service for Autodesk is already defined and running, click Reread License File to refresh the Network License Manager with any changes made to the license file or Options file.

    The license server starts running and is ready to respond to client requests.

13. Close lmtools.exe.
