Context
When a new version of the Thermo Scientific FlexNet tools is released, you need to update your FlexNet license server (lmadmin).
Process
1. Install the latest version of Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server (LMs).
Note: To use Thermo Scientific software, you must install version 11.19.0 or higher of the FlexNet tools. If your server lmadmin has not been upgraded to this minimum required version yet, you will automatically be notified that an upgrade is pending.
To launch the upgrade, click Upgrade in the FlexNet lmadmin upgrade display to first uninstall the current version.
2. In the FlexNet lmadmin installation display, click Start to launch the installation of the new version.
A green pop-up will confirm the successful upgrade.
3. In the next two displays, click Restore to restore the backed up admin user profile and license files.
4. To apply updates, click Restart in the Start FlexNet lmadmin service display.
5. In Server Configuration, the latest version of lmadmin will be displayed as "Installed".
Note that you can also run the Upgrade steps at any moment by clicking the Upgrade button in the Server Configuration tab. The Upgrade button is only displayed if your server is not installed with the latest available FlexNet version.
Notes
- If you do not use Thermo Scientific License Manager for Server to manage your licenses, contact Customer Support to upgrade your server.
- If the license server is installed on a Linux platform, refer to article KA-01302 "Manage Floating License: Linux - Upgrade the FlexNet License Server".
