Using lmadmin

Specifying the “conf” Folder

In a default lmadmin installation on a Windows platform, the conf folder is installed in the runtime data directory under ProgramData (that is, not in the same location where lmadmin.exe is installed). Therefore, for all operations that involve updates to files located in the conf folder (for example, server.xml), you need to specify the location of conf using the ‑configDir command:

lmadmin.exe -configDir <conf_path>

where <conf_path> is the path to the conf folder (for example, C:\ProgramData\FLEXlm\lmadmin\conf).

For command-line examples listed within this chapter, it is assumed that the conf folder is not installed in the same location as lmadmin.exe.

In installations on non-Windows platforms, and in Windows installations where the conf folder is installed in the same location as lmadmin.exe, using the -configDir command is not required.
