Update FlexNet from a Previous Version
Normally with a new release of Autodesk products it is required to upgrade FlexNet.
To determine the installed version of FlexNet, you need to verify the version of the following
files: lmgrd.exe, lmtools.exe, lmutil.exe and adskflex.exe. Normally the version can be seen by
checking the properties of the file. LMTOOLS can also be used. Click the Utilities tab and
browse for the .exe file and click on Find Version.
To update FlexNet in Windows
You should be logged in with Administrator rights when working with the LMTOOLS utility.
1. Back up your license, options and other files that are vital.
2. Click Start > All Programs > Autodesk > Network License Manager > LMTOOLS Utility
or run lmtools.exe from the installation folder.
3. In the LMTOOLS utility, click the Start/Stop/Reread tab.
4. Click Stop Server.
5. Close LMTOOLS.
6. Note the location where the Network License Manager is installed and then uninstall the
Network License Manager.
7. Install the Network License Manager to the same location as the previous version.
8. Do one of the following:
(Windows XP) Click Start > Programs > Autodesk > Network License Manager >
LMTOOLS.
(Windows 7/ Windows Vista) Double-click the LMTOOLS icon on the desktop.
Run lmtools.exe from the installation folder
9. In the LMTOOLS utility, click the Start/Stop/Reread tab.
10. Click Start Server.
11. Click the Server Status tab and click on Perform Status Enquiry to ensure that it’s
working.
12. Close LMTOOLS.
13. Test run the network licensed product.
The version of the license server manager (lmgrd.exe) must be greater than or equal to the
version of FlexNet Publisher used in the application/application's vendor daemon (for Autodesk
it is adskflex.exe). You can always use the latest license server manager and utilities; they will
be backward-compatible with your application and its license file.
Download them from http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm and select your
Operating System. Normally updating is not needed unless your application vendor requires it.
But if you experience problems in some way, then it can be a good idea to see if it helps with
the latest version. Take backup of the old exe files. Stop the license service(s). Replace the exe
files. Start the license service(s).
