FLEXnet License Management Utilities

You typically do not need to know anything about the license manager. However, there can be times when you want to get the current status of the license manager or perform any of the following license management tasks.

• Configuring the license manager as a service.

• Starting and stopping the license manager

• Change the name of the license manager service

FLEXnet provides several utilities that you can use to monitor and manage licensing activities at your site. The following sections describe these utilities.

• Using the FLEXnet Command Line Utilities (lmutil.exe)

• Using the FLEXnet Utilities Graphical User Interface (LMTOOLS)

Note   If you want to make changes to your licenses, such as combining several licenses or moving an existing toolbox license, you must contact The MathWorks. See Obtaining Your Licenses for contact information.

If you configure the license manager as a service, you can also use the Windows Services control panel to start or stop the license manager service. On the Windows Start menu, select Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services
