PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE Environment Variable
Arbortext Publishing Engine looks for the path to a FlexNet node-locked license file in the PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE environment variable automatically when it starts. If PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE does not exist or has an incorrect value, you will need to specify it.

By default, Arbortext Publishing Engine is installed under the Windows SYSTEM account. If you start Arbortext Publishing Engine and PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE does not exist or has an incorrect value, its Arbortext PE sub-processes will report a license error.
If you try to start Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive without a valid PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE, you will see a Licensing Error dialog box prompting you for license information. Because this dialog box will set the variable as a User variable, Arbortext PE sub-processes will still be unable to find the license. Be sure PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE is set as a System variable in the server’s System Properties.

Refer to Troubleshooting Arbortext Publishing Engine Licensing for information on how to obtain a licensing report from the Arbortext PE server.
It’s possible that a license administrator has deployed the licensing information to the Arbortext PE server by setting the PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. You may never be prompted for the information unless you encounter a license problem.
