b. Using the SC (Service Control) command—The SC command can be used in a
Command Prompt window to start and stop the license server, as shown in
Figure 5-6 Using
the Service Control command to start and stop the license server on page 25. The Service
name listed in the properties dialog in
Figure 5-5 The services properties dialog can be used
to start and stop the license server on page 24 is used with the SC command—in this
example, the Service name is the default name, “FLEXlm License Manager”. If you use the
installs —n command option to specify a name for the license server service, the
specified name will be listed in the Service name dialog and should be used with the SC
command. If the Service name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes.

NOTE: As described previously, the service lmgrd.exe process spawns a second
lmgrd.exe process. The floating License Key file is read only when these processes start.
Any change to the floating License Key file after the license server starts will not be seen. In
order for changes to the floating License Key file to be seen by the license server, LMTOOLS
should be used to re-read the License Key file, as described below.
6. To remove the lmgrd service, use the following syntax:
installs -r -n "Myvendor License Manager"
●
-n the services name must match what was used during installation.
NOTE: In using the installs command, you may see messages in the Command Prompt
window such as “To remove FLEXnet License Manager, type ‘installs -r’ “ or “FLEXnet
License Manager is already installed." These messages relate to the status of the license
manager service—they do not relate to the physical installation or removal of the FLEXnet License
Manager files.
7. LMTOOLS can be executed from the start menu as follows:
Start > All Programs > HP Remote Graphics > lmtools
