To Activate a Network License Through Autodesk.com
If your product does not include the Network License Activation Utility, you can activate your license by going
to https://registeronce.autodesk.com, and following the on-screen instructions.
Configure Your License Server
You configure a license server so that you can manage the Autodesk Navisworks product licenses.
You can configure the license server with the lmtools.exe utility.
You should be logged in with Administrator rights when working with the LMTOOLS utility.
To configure your license server
1 Do one of the following:
■ Click Start menu ➤ All Programs (or 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 FLEXnet 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
FLEXnet 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 Manager daemon (lmgrd.exe), or
click Browse to locate the file.
By default, this daemon is installed in the C:\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.
It is recommended that you save to the \Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager folder. The log file
must have a .log file extension. For new log files, you must enter the .log extension manually.
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
when prompted if you would like to save the settings to the service.
11 Click the Start/Stop/Reread tab and 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.
12 Close lmtools.exe.
