Starting and Stopping the License Manager

On Windows NT, the FLEXlm license manager is installed as a service. There are several ways to start the license manager:

• By rebooting your machine. As a Windows NT service, the license manager gets started automatically at boot time.
• Using the FLEXlm control panel
• Using the Windows NT control panel

Using the Windows NT Control Panel

To start or stop the license manager using the Windows NT Control Panel:

• Select the Settings option on the Start menu.
• Select Control Panel on the Settings menu.
• Double-click on Services.

In the Services dialog box, look for the MATLAB License Server service name. The status of the license manager should be started, and the startup property should be automatic. If the license manager is not active, you can start it by selecting the FLEXlm entry in the dialog box and clicking on the Start button.
