Upgrading a FLEXnet license server and administration tools

Abaqus 2017 licensing requires FLEXnet Licensing Version 11.6.1; the license server must be upgraded if it is an earlier version. You can use the FLEXnet Licensing tool lmver or lmstat (see lmstat) to check the version number of the license server.

If you need to upgrade the license server, you should use the licensing installation procedure to upgrade the license server automatically. If you want to configure the license server manually, you can use the licensing installation procedure to install only the FLEXnet Licensing administration tools.

If your Abaqus license file is integrated with FLEXnet license files for other products using a combined license file, you must ensure that the lmgrd version meets the FLEXnet version compatibility rules. For more information, see the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide Version 11.6, which is available for download from the Licensing section of the Support page at www.3ds.com/simulia.
