Hack Flexlm License Manager Software

The FlexNet Publisher (server) controls the number of license copies of a software product. The FlexNet Publisher can be installed on Windows and UnixLinux machines. Installing the flexlm license server on Linux - Art work. FLEXlm License Manager OpenLM’s advanced and cost-effective software license management platform will enable you to.

As is the case every few releases, Autodesk has incremented the FlexLM license manager version required to support its network licenses. The version ’11.14.1.3’,, is required to run the 2019 product year licenses. Ideate software licensing, including for the 2019 releases will work fine with any version past 11.9, including the newest one. Updating your Flexera LMTools is relatively straight-forward if you watch out for these common mistakes: Custom installation folder If you are using anything other than “C: Autodesk Network License Manager,” make sure to change the 3 paths on the ‘Config Services’ tab accordingly after installing the new LMTools.

Multiple services on the same License manager When multiple services share the same LMTools install (e.g. Autodesk and Ideate Software) or LMTools only serves licenses for non-Autodesk software, make sure the secondary vendor daemon (e.g. ‘ideate.exe’) and log file (‘ideate.log’) are present in the installation folder after the update. Autodesk daemon ‘adskflex.exe’ installs with LMTools downloaded from Autodesk website by default.

Multiple versions of LMTools for different software products Running multiple instances of LMTools on the same server (because some software titles will only run on a specific LMTools version) gets even more complicated. In addition to the above, be sure to stop and start the individual services from within their applicable LMTools instance and use the correct ‘path to lmgrd’ on the ‘config services’ tab. Final reminder: Checking the ‘force server shutdown’ tick box, then hitting ‘stop server’ will stop ALL services that LMTools can reach, however clicking ‘start server’ will start ONLY the currently selected one. Be sure to switch to any other service you may have and perform a ‘start server,’ then ‘reread license file’ separately. Hope these suggestions will make this infrequent but inevitable task a little bit easier. You can always find more answers on, or feel free to with any Ideate software-related questions or suggestions.

I recently had a problem with AutoCAD 2006, the Network License Server (aka FLEXnet 10.1.5) and a borrowed network license. The problem was that a laptop had borrowed a license and the hard drive died several days after. A support call lodged with Autodesk resulted in a 'wait for the borrowed license to expire', even after escalating the request to a supervisor. Sorry, not good enough. The annual maintenance fee paid to Autodesk should more than make up for either an immediate remedial action (ie an administrative return process that actually works), or a temporary key re-issue. So I started Googling.

I Googled some more and became thoroughly depressed. Yet another one of those well-known, but not one of those well-documented, products.

I'll save my rant about large software companies who don't care about their customers for another day. There was one useful poster on the Autodesk forums, who was careful with his information in a bid to retain his posting privileges to the Autodesk forums. Based on some of his information, I was able to finally come up with a solution.

The FLEXnet licensing 'solution' under Windows provides a GUI front end (called LMTOOLS) to the lmutil command line utility that is used to manage FLEXnet license manager under Unix. The last tab of the LMTOOLS utility is called borrowing and it's supposed to be used to be able to manage licenses that support borrowing. However it doesn't work out of the box and furthermore Autodesk do not recommend nor support the use of this tab for their licenses. For anyone that wants to get it working, you need to go to the Utilities tab, leave Vendor Name blank and enter the path to the license file containing the floating licenses. Click Override Path.
