Configure a License Server (Windows)
You configure a license server so that you can manage your Autodesk product
licenses. Configure the license server with the lmtools.exe utility.
To configure your license server
You should be logged in with Administrator rights when working with the
LMTOOLS utility.
1 Click Start ➤ All 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.

Manager daemon (lmgrd.exe), or click Browse to locate the file.
