Windows Utilities for License Server Management
FLEXnet provides two utilities for managing the license server. The default
location for these tools is in this folder: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk
Network License Manager.
LMTOOLS Utility (lmtools.exe) Provides a Microsoft
®
Windows graphical
user interface for managing the license server.
lmutil.exe Provides a set of command-line options for managing the license
server.
You can use LMTOOLS or lmutil.exe to perform the following server
management tasks:
■ Start, stop, and restart the server.
■ Configure, update, and reread the license file.
■ Diagnose system or license problems.
■ View server status, including active license status.
Stop and Restart the License Server
Before you can perform any system maintenance on your license server
(including uninstalling the Autodesk License Manager) you must stop the
license server. When you have completed maintenance, you can restart the
license server.
You should be logged in with Administrator rights when working with the
LMTOOLS utility.

1 Do one of the following:
■ Windows 7 or XP: Click Start ➤ All Programs ➤ Autodesk ➤
Network License Manager ➤ LMTOOLS Utility.
■ Windows 8: Right-click Start screen ➤ All Apps ➤ LMTOOLS
Utility.
