To configure automatic start-up of your Mac OS X license server
Some Autodesk products provide a script to automate some of this procedure.
See your product appendix to this guide for more information.
Before configuring your license server for Mac OS X, ensure that the following
steps have been completed:
■ You have installed the Autodesk Network License Manager which contains
the following files: lmgrd, adskflex, and lmutil.
■ You have received the network license file from Autodesk that contains
the product licenses; for example, productlicense.lic.
NOTE Before performing any system maintenance on your license server, see Stop
and Restart the License Server (page 43).
1 Create a directory titled NLM under the home directory; for example,
/Users/<user id>/NLM.
2 Move the following files: lmgrd, adskflex, lmutil, and your product license
file (.lic) into the NLM directory created in Step 1.
3 If it does not already exist, create the directory StartupItems under /Library
using the sudo command. For example, sudo mkdir StartupItems.
4 Create a startup item directory; for example, /Users/<user id>/adsknlm.
5 Create an executable script file; for example, adsknlm, by entering the
