[FlexNet License Server]
Context & Prerequisites
When a new version of a Thermo Scientific Software application is released, you will need to upgrade the activated licenses on your FlexNet license server in order to allow client application users to run this new version.
Important: For Avizo, Amira, and PerGeos applications upgrades are only available for licenses in version 2021.1 or later.
If you are upgrading from a version before 2021.1, first activate the license codes you received by email when version 2021.1 was released, then upgrade (see article KA-01257 "License Server: Add (New) Licenses - Get the License Server Host ID").
Process
Once you have updated your license certificate (see article KA-01264 "License Server: Upgrade Licenses - Update a License Certificate"), you can import it on the license server:
- Either using the Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server Import license files dialog (Windows only):
1. In Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server Dashboard click on Import license files
2. Click on Add
3. Browse to select the license.dat certificate file you’ve generated with the TLM portal.
4. Click Import.
- Or in the lmadmin web interface:
Open http://localhost:8090/vendor in a web browser on the server machine, to set up your license server as follows:
1. Click on Import License.
2. Check the Overwrite License File on the License Server.
3. Browse to select the license.dat certificate file you’ve generated with the TLM portal.
4. Click on Import License.
5. Click on the Vendor Daemon (asglmd/mcslmd) line.
6. Click on Start if the vendor daemon is Down, or on Reread License Files if the vendor daemon is already Up.
