In LMTools select the config services tab and the service name will be listed there. The default service name is ‘Flexlm Service 1’ but this may have been changed to something else when the licence manager was set up. If this fails or if there are other vendor services running open services.msc and look for the service and stop it from there. If you are sure all applications for all users have been reset to User ID licences then tick the ‘force server shutdown’ box and try again. If you have borrowed licences the message ‘unable to stop server’ will be displayed. Once stopping server is displayed the service is usually stopped but the message does not change or disappear. In the box at the bottom of the licence manager window ‘Server stop requested’ should be displayed followed a few seconds later by ‘stopping Server’. If no other vendor services are using LMTools utility, on the Start/Stop/Reread tab select Stop Server.
#AUTODESK FLEXLM SOFTWARE#
Autodesk are not the only software vendor to use LMTools to issue licences, so check for other services that may be running. Once you have identified all the servers issuing licences and all client machines have been reset, you can stop the service on all the servers. If you have multiple offices running single licence files, the applications/servers in each office should be checked. If the redundant server model is being used there should be three servers listed. Look at the licence server name, this is the PC/Server issuing the licences. To the left of the licence is a blue arrowhead, select this and your licence information will be displayed.
If you do not know the location of LMTools (Licence Manager), open any Autodesk network licenced application on a client machine and select help/about Autodesk xxxxx and select manage licence.
#AUTODESK FLEXLM PC#
Although described here as a server application, LMTools could be installed on any PC on your network that would be on when licences needed to be served (e.g. The application managing the licences is called LMTools Utility. As these licence files need to be able to see each other it was rare to have servers in multiple office locations due to difficulties with latency, IP address ranges, proxy servers and firewalls.
Two of the three servers must be available for licences to be issued to client machines. Three licence servers and licence files each of which contain all your licences. If you have multiple offices, there may be licence files running in each office. The number of licences in each file when added together make up the total number of network licences available. More than one server issuing Autodesk Network Licences across your domain/LAN/WAN. The total number of licences would be the sum of the licences in these individual files. If you have multiple offices, there may be single licence files running in each office. One server issuing all your Autodesk Network licences across your domain/LAN/WAN. Now you have added all users to the Autodesk Account, assigned them the products they require, sent out the email to inform users of the switch, reset the licences on the client machines and confirmed users are accessing the correct licence type, it is time to focus on stopping and removing the network licence applications and infrastructure changes previously required to allow the use network licences.Īutodesk network licences is served by three different licensing models as detailed below.
