Before You Proceed
Gather all the necessary information that follows about the installation of the license server manager:
Check the FlexNet License Hardware Notes – PTC License Server for license server installation requirements and to determine from where to download the license server software for your server machine.
Make note of your product code that arrives via e-mail. If you have received a license file via e-mail, store it at a secure location on your disk.
If you have already installed PTC License Server based on lmgrd and choose to migrate to lmadmin, complete these steps before the migration:
1. Shut down any lmgrd service or processes running on the system.
2. Save the license.dat file from your existing license server installation to a secure location.
3. Uninstall the previous installation completely.
See “Migrating from lmgrd to lmadmin” in the FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide for more information.
