Installation Instructions for the Flexera License Server - LMADMIN
Before you begin
In order to install the Flexera License Server, you must have Administrative privileges. Flexera License
Server Manager requires that Java 6 or higher is installed prior to installing the Flexera License Server.
During the Flexera License Server installation process, a file named SLP_HOSTID_Info.txt will be
created on your desktop. This file needs to be emailed to [email protected] to provide
information required to create your license file (LicenseFile.lic).
Once you have received your license file from Simulations Plus, you will need to import this license file
into the Flexera License Server.
Installation
Open the “AP80-Install” folder that was created by uncompressing the “AP80-Install.zip” folder.
Double click on “advanced.exe” application.
The dialog box below will be displayed. Click on the “Flexera LMADMIN Server” button.
