Installation Instructions for the Flexera License Server - LMAdmin
Before you begin
In order to install the Flexera License Server, you must have Administrative privileges. Flexera License
Server Manager requires that Java 6 or higher is installed prior to installing the Flexera License Server.
During the Flexera License Server installation process, a file named SLP_HOSTID_Info.txt will be created on your desktop. This file will need to be emailed to [email protected] to provide information required to create your evaluation license. Once you have received your license file from Simulations Plus, you will need to import this license file into the Flexera License Server.
Installation
If you were provided with an individual download, the downloaded file will be a compressed zip file.
Extract this file to a convenient location such as your desktop. The files created from extracting the
downloaded file should look similar to the example below.
To begin the Advanced installation, double
click on the “advanced.exe” file.
Select Flexera LMADMIN Server to begin the Flexera
License Server installation.

If a required C++ component is not
installed on your system, you will have the
opportunity to install it now.
Check the option “Install Visual C++ SP1
Redistributable Package”.
Click “Next”.
The Visual C++ SP1 Redistributable installer
will launch. Click on “Yes” to accept and
install.
The HTTP Port configuration options will
now appear. Set the HTTP and License
Server port numbers you plan to use.
These ports will need to be configured
on your network to allow access by the
intended users.
Click “Next”.
Now the Server Configuration options
will be displayed. The name delay
defaults are usually appropriate.
Check the “Runs as a service” option.

Check the “Start server now” option and
click “Next”.
The installer will attempt to start the
licensing server.
When the server starts, a browser window
will open. You should see “FlexNet
Publisher” in the top left corner.
If a browser window did not open, the
server may need to be started manually. A
one-time reboot of your system after
completing the installation will usually solve
this. The server will start each time your
machine boots up.
Click on “Done” to complete the license
server install.
The Flexera License Server is now
installed.
The next step is to install the daemon
required to license Simulations Plus, Inc.
software.

In the directory the installation files were extracted to,
open the folder labeled with the name of the Simulations
Plus, Inc. software title. (This example uses ADMET

named MedChem Studio if the MedChem Studio package
was used.)
