Starting and Stopping an FNP License Server

Starting the FNP License Server

Run the following command to start the license server.

<installdir>/toolworks/flexlm‑<version>/bin/toolworks_init start

Note that toolworks_init was generated by the Configure_License script in step 4. Configure the FNP License Server.

You can check that the license server started by viewing its log, created after running toolworks_init start at:

<installdir>/toolworks/flexlm‑<version>/license.log

As an alternative, you can run the commands within this section as an argument to the sudo command.

If you configured your license server to run as a non-privileged user, the initialization script ensures that the license management daemons are started and run under the non-privileged user even if you run the script as root.

Stopping the FNP License Server

To stop the license server:

<installdir>/toolworks/flexlm‑<version>/bin/toolworks_init stop

Autostarting the License Server

If you would like the license server to automatically start when the system is booted, run the following script as root:

<installdir>/toolworks/flexlm‑<version>/bin/Configure_Autostart

Configure_Autostart prompts you for some configuration questions and then makes changes to the specified startup files.
