Starting License Servers

This operation starts a license server, including its lmgrd process and all vendor daemon processes. The user must have the Manage License Servers permission. See FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Roles and Permissions for details.

To start a license server:

  1. Click the Servers tab, then click License Managers.
  2. Click the display name for the license server of interest. This displays the Configure and Manage License Server page for the license server.
  3. Click the Start button.

After a period of time—several seconds to several minutes, depending on your network response time—the** License Manager** Status and Vendor Daemons fields will contain a green check mark icon if the license server was successfully started.

If, after a reasonable amount of time, these fields still contain the red x icon, review the FlexNet application logs to determine why the license server did not start. See the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications 2025 R1 Installation Guide for more information about application logs.
