MATLAB: Can I use the Network License Manager with the lmadmin tool

MATLAB

Flexera currently provides a new network license manager GUI interface called lmadmin. This tool adds additional functionality to the old license manager (lmgrd). Is it possible to run the MathWorks vendor daemon (MLM) with lmadmin?

Best Answer

Currently the Network License Manager vendor daemon has not been tested or qualified to work with lmadmin, and thus unsupported.

For information on how to start the license manager, please see the article below.

As of R2020a, the silent installer does not have an option to install the License Manager silently. In order to install the License Manager on a machine that requires a silent installation, you may manually install the License Manager with the License Manager binaries.

For information on manually installing the License Manager, please refer to the following article:

MATLAB: Do I receive License Manager Error -16

This error will occur if the path to mlm in your license file is incorrect. To resolve this error, open the license.dat file with a plain text editor and correct the path to mlm.

Where $MATLAB is the MATLAB installation directory, the license.dat file on the server machine is located in:

$MATLAB/etc

The DAEMON line specifies the daemon type and the path to the daemon. For MATLAB, this is:

DAEMON MLM <path to vendor daemon>

The location of the daemon depends on your operating system.

Windows

The daemon will normally be located here:

$MATLAB\etc\win64\mlm.exe

Linux

The daemon will normally be located here:

$MATLAB/etc/glnxa64/mlm

Mac

$MATLAB/etc/maci64/mlm

Prior to R2011a, MLM was named lm_matlab on Linux and Mac.

Once you have made the changes to the license file, you must stop and start the network license manager. (Do not reread the license file: reread is not supported by the MATLAB vendor daemon.)
