Provide License Server Information to PTC
You need to provide the license server host ID to the PTC License group.
1. Retrieve the license server host ID (mac address).
◦ On Windows: execute the “ipconfig /all” command to get the mac address (which will be used as host ID).
◦ On Linux: execute the "hostid" command or the “lmutil lmhostid” lm command to get the host ID.
You must provide your license server “host ID” that you retrieved. The License Group will then process your request and generate a license file according to the customer subscription package you have purchased. This includes the number of users and the expiration date.
License Server Configuration
• For Windows use the lmtools.exe command to configure the server once the package has been unzipped.
◦ Copy the license.txt file you received in the ptc_e folder and rename it ptc_e.licenses.
◦ Edit the ptc_e.licenses file and change the path of the ptc_e.exe daemon (line 2) to match path of where the license server has been extracted.
DAEMON ptc_e "C:\Program Files\PTC\FLEXnet Admin License Server\ptc_e\ptc_e.exe"
◦ Edit the paths in bin/installptce.bat to match path of where the extracted files were placed as follows:
▪ Path of installs.exe and lmgrd.exe
▪ Path to the ptc_e licenses.
▪ Path to the log file PTC_E.log.
▪ Optionally, you can edit the name of the service.
• For Linux, locate the rc.PTCEswlm file and modify it based on where the package is unzipped to.
License Server Installation
Setup a license server on your local environment.
• Download the relevant Windows or Linux daemons from these locations:
• For Windows:
1. Run bin/installptce.bat as admin.
2. Verify that the Windows service PTC_E License Manager is started. If not start it.
License Server Monitoring
Open bin\lmtools.exe to update the license and restart service or check licence information.
