Using the License Server Manager
The license server manager handles the initial contact with your PTC software that uses FlexNet licensing. It passes the connection to the appropriate vendor daemon. A license server manager serves the following purposes:
• Starts and maintains vendor daemons for serving license rights from different software.
• Transfers specific software requests to the correct vendor daemon.
There are two versions of the license server manager for license administration:
• lmadmin—Uses a graphical user interface (GUI)
• lmgrd—Uses a command-line interface
PTC currently ships with its products a license server manager based on lmadmin with the ptc_d vendor daemon at version 11.10. It is a replacement to the lmgrd−based license server manager shipped with the earlier releases of PTC products. If you are using an lmgrd−based license server manager with ptc_d vendor daemon of version 10.8.x.x, you need not migrate to lmadmin.

On a 64–bit Windows operating system, if you are installing FlexNet Publisher with a ladmin-based license server manager, a 32–bit version of the FlexNet Publisher is installed in the C:\Program Files folder.
