Ansys License Manager Question

[Tim Dukes]

Hi support, 

I have a question regarding the starting of the License Manager. A user is running both SpaceClaim software and the license manager locally which shouldn't be an issue. The issue is the license manager doesn't start up when the user restarts there machine.

Unfortunatley the user doesn't have admin priviliges so they have to get IT involved every time they want to start the license manager which isn't ideal

They would like to schedule a task or create a startup batch file so that it starts upon opening. 

Doing a quick web search leads me to belive it should be the ansysli_server.exe but that doesn't seem to be a file in the latest Ansys License Manager 2025?

Would it be the lmgrd.exe that would need to be targeted and created in the startup batch script?

Hi Tim,

Please ask the IT to launch services from start menu and right -click on Ansys, Inc License Manager> Properties> General> start up type should be automatic or automatic delayed.

Do the same for Ansys Tomcat too, restart the system.

Yes, lmgrd.exe and ansyslmd needs to be targeted in your startup script. (3.1. Start the Ansys License Manager at System Boot Time)

Brilliant thankyou, customer set both to automatic rather than the LMGRD on automatic (delayed start) and this seemed to do the trick.
