Configure a License Server
Configure a License Server (Windows)
You configure a license server so that you can manage the Maya licenses you
received using the Autodesk Register Once Web page. You configure the license
server using the LMTOOLS utility.
Before configuring your license server, ensure that:
■ You have installed the Network License Manager, which gives you the
following files: lmgrd, adskflex, and lmutil. (See
Install the Network License
Manager (Windows)
on page 74.)
■ You have received the network license file from Autodesk that contains
the product licenses; for example, productlicense.lic. (See
Obtain a Network
License
on page 77.)
To configure your license server
NOTE Log in with Administrator rights when working with the LMTOOLS utility.
1 Click Start > Programs > Autodesk > Network License Manager > LMTOOLS
Utility.
2 In the LMTOOLS program, on the Service/License File tab, make sure the
Configure Using Services option is active.
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 on your computer in addition to Autodesk, you can change
the service name to avoid confusion. For example, you can rename Flexlm
Service 1 to Autodesk Server1.
NOTE If 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 field, enter the path to the network license
tools daemon (lmgrd.exe), or click Browse to locate the file.
