MATLAB: Does the network license manager fail to start with “EXITING DUE TO SIGNAL 32 Exit reason 9” in the log file

MATLAB

When I start the license server I see this error:
10:01:51 EXITING DUE TO SIGNAL 32 Exit reason 9
10:01:56 (lmgrd) MLM exited with status 32 (Exited because another server was running)
10:01:56 (lmgrd) MULTIPLE "MLM" license server systems running.
What does this error mean and how can I resolve this issue?

Best Answer

This error indicates that an instance of the MATLAB License Manager (MLM) is already running on this server.
To resolve this issue, stop the other instance of MLM running this server. If you are having trouble stopping MLM on Windows, check the “Force Server Shutdown” box on the “Start/Stop/Reread” tab in lmtools.exe. If you are still unable to stop MLM, you may need to end the process from the Task Manager or Activity Monitor, or by using the kill command.
If you are attempting to serve multiple licenses from the same server, each license must still use the same instance of MLM. This is accomplished by combining the license files into a single license.dat file with a single DAEMON MLM line. For instructions on combining license files into a single file, see “How do I serve multiple MATLAB licenses from the same license manager?”
