If you have purchased an additional importer or an , ann extra floating license or have renewed your maintenance then you will need to update the information on your server by updating the it’s sfpflv2.dat which you should recieve from Actifyreceive from Actify at every renewal.
IMPORTANT - DO NOT IGNORE! - You must “Stop Server” in the lmtools (lmtools.exe) before changing the existing sfpfvl2.dat, otherwise, it will break the actifyd.exe and lmgrd.exe processes, which then need to be terminated via the task manager, at which point you can then Start Server and ReRead License File to resolve the issue.
IMPORTANT! - Stop the Actify Floating License Manager Service in LMTools.exe, under Start/Stop/Reread tab
If it does not stop, please enable the Force Server Shutdown checkbox and try again.
If the service still does not stop, then open the Windows Services, search for the service name (Actifyd.exe and x2 lmgrd.exe processes), and stop it them manually.
Rename the current/original sfpflv2.dat to another name.
Then copy/paste the new sfpflv2.dat to C:\Program Files\Actify\Floating License Manager
Run lmtools.exe (same folder above)
Perform a Stop, Start and Re-read.
Navigate to the Service Status tab.
Select Perform Status Enquiry.
