Starting the License Manager Manually
You can start or stop the license manager by using the toolworks_init script. (This script is created by the Configure_License script when you install the license.) If, for example, the license manager software is installed in /usr/local/toolworks, the following commands start the license manager. Before entering these commands, use the su shell command to become the root user.
*In some environments, you’ll need to use the sudo command. If you use this command, you’ll type something like sudo ./toolworks_init start. Also, before you run this program, make sure that you have write permission to this directory.
cd /usr/local/toolworks/flexlm-version/bin
./toolworks_init start
Although the start-up script should be run as super-user (root), the license manager is started using the FlexNet user ID.
Check that the license manager started. Do this by examining the following file:
/usr/local/toolworks/flexlm-version/license.log
