      Two files are needed: SCFlexServerInstaller.exe & FloatingLicenseConfig.exe. The flexserverinstaller reaches out to our server and downloads their license file and installs the set of needed files to run the server (lmgrd.exe, SPACECLM.exe, sc.lic, lic.log). Three items that ID a FLT license: server name, server host ID, serial number. Next step: set up server process on server machine ( sometimes people forget to do this). lmtools.exe is responsible for setup of actual SpaceClaim server. In the Config services tab, browse for lmgrd, license file, and debug log file. Check boxes for Start Server at power up and Use Services, then save the service. In the Start/Stop/Reread tab, press start server, then the bottom line should read “”Service Start Successful.”” To learn about floating license installation, go to http://files.spaceclaim.com/InstallingFloatingLicenses.pdf
