You can start or stop the license manager by using the toolworks_init script. (This script is created by the Configure_License script when you install the license.) If, for example, the license manager software is installed in /usr/local/toolworks, the following commands start the license manager. Before entering these commands, use the su shell command to become the root user.

In some environments, you’ll need to use the sudo command. If you use this command, you’ll type something like sudo ./toolworks_init start. Also, before you run this program, make sure that you have write permission to this directory.

cd /usr/local/toolworks/flexlm-version/bin
Although the start-up script should be run as super-user (root), the license manager is started using the FLEXlm user ID.
