Announcement

Acresso Software is pleased to announce the availability of our new FLEXnet Publisher license server manager called lmadmin, for selected platforms.

lmadmin offers a significant milestone in the evolution of FLEXnet Publisher by introducing a graphical user interface that provides a number of server administration improvements around usability, efficiency, and capability.  See the License Administration Guide and the License Server Manager (lmadmin) Installation Guide for additional information, including supported platforms.

lmadmin is backward compatible to version 9.2 of the vendor daemon and your FLEX-enabled applications.

The existing license server manager, lmgrd, will continue to be supported.

Please note that lmadmin is temporarily incompatible with FLEXnet Manager. For FLEXnet Manager users, we suggest using lmgrd as your license server manager tool at this time.

Download lmadmin and give it a try!

Documentation

Helpful tips

• COMPATIBILITY: The version of the license server manager must be greater than or equal to the version of FLEXnet Publisher used in the application/application's vendor daemon. You can always use the latest license server manager and utilities from this site; they will be backward-compatible with your application and its license file.

• VERSION INFORMATION: Use lmver (part of lmutil) to determine the version of FLEXnet Publisher used by your application. If Company XYZ ships program Spell, you could run: lmver Spell; lmver XYZ. lmver would report the FLEXnet Publisher version used in the Spell application and the XYZ vendor daemon. (You may also use lmver lmgrd to determine the version of lmgrd. For lmadmin, use lmadmin -version.) lmadmin, lmgrd and lmutil are supplied by Acresso. The vendor daemon and application are supplied by the software vendor.

• SUPPORT: End users should contact their software vendor for support. The vendor is the only source for updates to the vendor daemons and applications, and for license file changes.
