| The information on this page refers to LM-X License Manager v4.7 and newer, which eliminated the need to use a separate mingw32 installer to compile the LM-X SDK using MinGW. |
The following steps are designed to compile LM-X SDK on a Windows machine in 5 minutes or less from a command line, using Visual Studio, and MinGW.

- Visual Studio (Express, Standard, Pro or better).
- MinGW
Compiling the LM-X SDK using Visual Studio
To compile the LM-X SDK using Visual Studio:
Step 1. Copy your LM-X-SDK lmx.lic file to the config directory and specify a desired OPTION for the vendor.
You can extend or modify the behavior of the license server during pre-compilation by editing the lmx_server_conf.c file.
Note: If you are upgrading LM-X, remember about copying to copy your LM-X security configuration file from a previous LM-X installation to the config directory. (In LM-X SDK versions older than 4.2, security_config.lmx file was named after your vendorname.lmx.)
...
Note: You must run nmake from the SDK root directory. Running nmake from a subdirectory may produce error messages and fail.

When compiling the LM-X SDK using MinGW, you should , make sure Cygwin is installed on your machine. Also, please consider MinGW-specific requirements and limitations, as described in Platform information and limitations Supported platforms.
