Setting Up and Configuring FlexNet License Server on Windows and Linux

Downloading and Preparing the License Server for Installation

On the MyDelta page left navigation pane, click Downloads.

If your license type does not support use of a license server, you might not see license server tools listed as available downloads on this page. If you think that something is missing, contact DeltaXML Support.

In the License Downloads section, click Download to start downloading the zip file for your product. You can choose the download location. The download starts immediately.
Unpack the zip file. A folder gets created in the format of deltaxml-license-server-XXXXX-1_0. The daemon executables that are used to run the license server are placed in the bin subfolder.

Depending on your preferred operating system, you can run and control the license server using one of the following methods:

On Windows, use the desktop tool lmtools.exe, which provides a graphical equivalent of the command line tools.
On Linux, you can use the command line with commands such as lmgrd, lmstat, lmdown etc. For the complete list of commands, see the FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide. You can search for lmgrd to get you started.
