arcgis-license-manager
I got a tool for ArcGIS which has its own license manager (lmtools / flexnet). Everything is working fine.
My problem is:
When i use ArcGIS and start the tool the license is in use. Ok. When i stop the tool the license is still in use until i restart ArcGIS.
Is there any way (with a script or workaround) to tell the licensemanager:
"Hey i finished working, somone else can use it now"
Its annoying to restart ArcGIS everytime :/
You can control it with OpenLM for ArcGIS.
I ended up contacting tech support over this one, who gave me an accurate but hard to understand answer. I took their words and turned into a graphic, which I then verified with them I correctly understood, and am now sharing with you:
Assuming a
services.txtlike the one in the above:the server firewall should allow inbound connections on
27000and outbound connections for1234.The arcgis desktop clients should allow outbound connections on
27000and inbound connections for1234.
And whatever you do, don't use 27000-27009 for the vendor daemon. My tech support rep suggested something in the 4000 range for the vendor daemon and client ports (1234 happens to be used by the popular VLC Media Player). I also found this handy list on wikipedia of tcp ports in common use.
Here's the cheesy graphic:
Thank you Max S. of Esri Canada Tech Support.

FlexNet has the management utility "lmutil" which can be used for forcing license check-in (lmremove).
The general command scheme is:
or
I think you need the license file to make things work, so try it with and possibly also without the -c parameter. Should look something like this.
or like this
You get these infos by using lmutil's lmstat command
As this works slightly different with different versions of FlexLM, you have to try should take a look in lmutils command reference on your installation.
EDIT: FlexNET uses Port numbers 27000 to 27005 by default, you can find out which one is living, by calling "netstat -a" on the server machine.
