By default, LM-X performs a clock check on the client side when calling LMX_Checkout() to ensure users have not backdated or tampered with their system clock.

The license server does a background check every 10 minutes, and if the clock has been tampered with, the license server shuts down.

C:\lm-x>lmxresetsystemclock.exe 
LM-X Reset System Clock Utility v3.5
