[FlexNet License Server]
Context
Thermo Scientific Software can be sold as yearly renewable subscriptions. In this case, delivered licenses are time-limited and will expire, usually after one year.
Upon license expiration, each client application will not be able to run anymore.
Assuming that the subscription has been renewed, you will need to reactivate these licenses to take the updated expiration date into account.
Important: the reactivation steps detailed below cannot be performed earlier than 14 days before the expiration of your license.
Process
Once you have updated your license certificate (see article KA-01266 "License Server: Reactivate Renewable 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.
