The information on this page refers to v4.4.3 and later, which introduced an installation program that installs both LM-X license server and the end-user tools. For installation instructions applicable to earlier versions, see Removed Features. |
An installation program lets you quickly and easily install end-user tools, as well as the LM-X license server. The installer will let you install the license server as a service for Windows, Linux and Mac. For other platforms, you will need to start the license server as a daemon manually.
You can download the latest installation program from http://www.x-formation.com/lm-x_license_manager/enduser_downloads.html. For previous versions, contact your application vendor.
When you run the installation program, a wizard guides you through each installation step. The installation program optionally lets you install LM-X License Server as a service and helps you locate and copy the liblmxvendor library, which is required for starting the LM-X License Server. This library and any updates to it are supplied by your application vendor.
Limitations for installing LM-X License Server as a service
When installing LM-X License Server as a service, you should note the following limitations:
- The display name of installed LM-X license server service must be unique; if LM-X end-user tools have already been used with the LM-X License Server as a service, you must exercise care to use a different display name in subsequent installations.
- Two distinct LM-X license servers cannot be run as a service using liblmxvendor.dll files from the same vendor; for example, Server A can run with liblmxvendor.dll issued by vendor "XF", and Server B with "XFORMATION", but Server C can run with neither "XF" or "XFORMATION".
