Context & Prerequisites
When a new version of the Thermo Scientific FlexNet tools is released, you must update your FlexNet license server.
Stop the lmadmin service before upgrading:
- Open http://localhost:8090/systeminfo in a web browser.
- In the Server Configuration tab, click Stop Server.
Caution: Do not run the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of lmadmin on the same system. If you are upgrading from the 32-bit lmadmin to the 64-bit version, you must stop and uninstall the 32-bit lmadmin first.
Process
Follow the installation and configuration procedure described in the article KA-01300 "Linux - Manual Installation of lmadmin as License Server Manager."
After installation, complete the “import licenses” steps as follows:
1. Open http://localhost:8090/systeminfo in a web browser.
2. Go to the Vendor Daemon Configuration tab and click Import License.
3. Select the license.dat file created during the previous installation.
4. Enable Overwrite License File on the license server, then click Import License.
5. If the Vendor Daemon (asglmd or mcslmd) fails to start, refer to article KA-01298 "Manage Floating Licenses: Vendor Daemon Startup Troubleshooting Suggestions."
