How to Use AVEVA Flexman Configuration Tool for License Management
AVEVA Flexman is a license management system that allows you to control and monitor the usage of AVEVA products on your network. It is based on the FlexNet Publisher technology from Flexera Software, and it consists of two main components: the License Server and the Client Install.
The License Server is responsible for issuing licenses to the AVEVA products that request them, and for enforcing the license terms and conditions. The Client Install provides the FlexmanConfig tool for configuring the connection to the License Server and is needed wherever an AVEVA product is being installed.

How to Obtain a New License from AVEVA
Before you can use any AVEVA product, you need to obtain a valid license file from AVEVA. To do this, you need to provide AVEVA with some information about your system, such as:
The name and version of the AVEVA product(s) you want to use
The number of licenses you need for each product
The type of license you need (e.g., node-locked, floating, trial, etc.)
The host name and host ID of the computer where you will install the License Server
You can find the host name and host ID of your computer by running the lmutil.exe utility that comes with the Flexman installation. For example, on Windows, you can open a command prompt and type:
lmutil lmhostid -hostname
This will display something like:
The FLEXnet host ID of this machine is "001122334455"
Its hostname is "myserver"
You can then send this information to AVEVA by email or through their website. AVEVA will then generate a license file for you and send it back to you. You need to save this file in a secure location on your computer.
How to Install and Configure the License Server
The License Server is the component that manages and distributes the licenses to the AVEVA products. You need to install it on a computer that is accessible by all the computers that will run the AVEVA products. You also need to configure it with the license file that you obtained from AVEVA.
To install and configure the License Server, follow these steps:
Run the Flexman installer and select the Server Install option.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
Copy the license file that you received from AVEVA to the folder where you installed Flexman (e.g., C:\Program Files\AVEVA\Flexman).
Rename the license file to aveva.lic.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where you installed Flexman.
Type lmtools.exe to launch the LMTOOLS utility.
Select the Config Services tab.
Check the Use Services and Start Server at Power Up options.
In the Service Name field, enter aveva.
In the Path to lmgrd.exe file field, browse to lmgrd.exe in your Flexman folder.
In the Path to license file field, browse to aveva.lic in your Flexman folder.
In the Path to debug log file field, enter a path where you want to store
the log file (e.g., C:\Program Files\AVEVA\Flexman\aveva.log).
Click Save Service.
Select the Start/Stop/Reread tab.
