Install Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server, then run the tool. Just follow the instructions in the dialog, and Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server will automatically install and configure the license server with the following steps:
1. Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server automatically checks if your machine meets lmadmin system requirements, and installs the missing components if necessary.
2. lmadmin is installed, or upgraded if a version prior to 11.16.6 is already installed. Note that during the upgrade, previously installed licenses and admin settings can be restored, and Thermo Fisher Software vendor daemons are automatically upgraded. If the server is hosting other vendors’ products though, you need to copy the other products vendor daemons manually to the new installation.
3. You can set the license server admin password.
4. You can import license file(s).
5. FlexNet lmadmin service is started.
6. Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server displays the status of the installed components and the system information.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the lmadmin web interface by clicking on the FlexNet server link displayed in the Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server Dashboard.
When lmadmin opens, you will be prompted to enter a name and a password: enter “admin” and “admin” (default password) if you have not set the admin password during Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server installation.
