Downloading and Installing Network License Manager files

To download the hybrid IPv4/IPv6 NLM:

To install the Autodesk Network License Manager:

  1. Unzip the file into a folder on the machine as follows:

    tar –zxvf nlm11.13.1.2_ipv4_ipv6_mac_universal.tar.gz

    or you can double-click the file nlm11.13.1.2_ipv4_ipv6_mac_universal.tar.gz to extract the PKG file.

  2. Install the FLEXnet server PKG (extracted above) with the following command:

    Installer -pkg nlm11.13.1.2_ipv4_ipv6_mac_universal.pkg –target /

    or you can double-click the file nlm11.13.1.2_ipv4_ipv6_mac_universal.pkg and follow the instructions.

  3. The NLM should be installed under /usr/local/flexnetserver.

To start the Network License Server:

You should be logged in with Administrator rights when working with the LMTOOLS utility.

  1. Open a Terminal window and navigate to the Autodesk Network License Manager folder (containing the files lmutil, lmgrd, and adskflex).
  2. In that folder, enter the following command to start the Network License Server:

    ./lmgrd –c license_file_list –l debug_log_path

    Note: It is recommended to start lmgrd with a non-root user. If you must start lmgrd with a root user, enter the following to run lmgrd as a non-privileged user:

    su username ./lmgrd –c license_file_list –l debug_log_path

    where username is a non-privileged user.

To update the Autodesk Network License Manager:

If an earlier version of the Network License Manager is running, you need to stop the service before you can install the new version. Administrator permission is required for this procedure. The NLM should be installed under /usr/local/flexnetserver.

  1. Back up your license files.
  2. Stop the Autodesk Network License Manager service by entering the following in Terminal:

    ./lmutil lmdown -q -force

  3. Note the location where the Network License Manager is installed and then uninstall the Network License Manager by entering the standard Mac OS X commands, for example, rm.
  4. Install the Network License Manager as indicated in earlier instructions.
  5. Start the Network License Manager service as indicated in earlier instructions.
