Context & Prerequisites
When a new version of the Thermo Scientific FlexNet tools is released, you will need to update your FlexNet license server.
Before upgrading, stop the lmadmin service:
- Open http://localhost:8090/systeminfo in a web browser.
- In the Server Configuration tab, click on Stop Server.
Caution: Do not run the 32-bit lmadmin and the 64-bit 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", then run the “import licenses” steps described below:
1. Open http://localhost:8090/systeminfo in a web browser.
2. Open the Vendor Daemon Configuration tab, and click Import License.
3. Select the license.dat file created for the previous installation.
4. Check the Overwrite License File on the License Server and click Import License.
5. If the Vendor Daemon (asglmd/mcslmd) fails to start, refer to article KA-01298 "Manage Floating Licenses: Vendor Daemon Startup Troubleshooting Suggestions."
