Post Installation

The license manager software is installed in the C:\Program Files\Actify\Floating License Manager folder (for 64-bit). You can verify the files have been installed there.

  2. Start the lmtools.exe. 
  3. Select the Config Services tab.
  4. Enter the Service Name as Actify License Manager.
  5. Browse and find the lmgrd.exe path.
  6. Browse and find the sfpflv2.dat path.
  7. Make sure Start Server at Power Up and Use Services are checked.
  8. Click on the Save Service button.

  9. Select the Start/Stop/Reread tab.
  10. Click Start Server.
  11. Click ReRead License File.

Important Note

Server

If a floating license server already exists for SpinFire 10.x,

  1. Uninstall 9.2 FlexLM and install the new license server (see New License Server Installation on this page).
  2. Replace the sfpflv2.dat file with the new one, and perform a Stop, Start, ReRead.

Clients

If, on startup, SpinFire Ultimate 11.0 does not locate the new license file in the spinfire11 folder, it will search for an existing SpinFire 10.x license file, working backward to version 10.0. If found, the license file is then copied to the spinfire11 folder.

Should this occur, /wiki/spaces/SF1100/pages/3233285414 may be required to update the license file expiration date.
