      The LMTOOLS error occurs because Macrovision did not provide an x64 port of the LMTOOLS executable. Since the 32-bit version accesses the 32-bit registry, it cannot create/stop/start the x64 license manager. For this reason, we do not include any version of LMTOOLS with the licensing install and suggest that customers use the ANSLIC_ADMIN utility for all licensing actions on x64.
