Automatically Starting the License Server at System Startup

In order for lmgrd to start up automatically at system start-up time, you first must configure it as a service. Follow the procedure in Configuring the License Server Manager as a Windows Service before proceeding, and then continue with the steps below.

To configure lmgrd as a service:

1.

With lmtools started and the desired service name selected, click the Config Services tab.

Config Services Tab

2.

Make this license server manager a Windows service by selecting the Use Services check box.

3.

Configure it to start at system startup time by selecting the Start Server at Power Up check box.

Note:On Windows platforms, it is best practice to set the location of debug_log_path to a sub-folder of ProgramData. This location has user-write permissions by default, which are needed when the license server runs as a service with LocalService permission.

From now on, when the system is rebooted, this license server manager starts automatically as a Windows service.
