How to connect a client to a license server in a command prompt on Windows

  1. Open a Command Prompt with administrator privileges.

  1. In the command prompt, enter the following command to edit license.dat:

    > mkdir C:\flexlm

    > copy con C:\flexlm\license.dat

    1. Enter the following text:

      • If you want your license server to use any available port:

        SERVER <server name> 0 ANY VENDOR toonboom USE_SERVER

        Replace <server name>with the hostname of the server.

      • If you want your license server to use specific ports:

        SERVER <server name> 0 <license server port> VENDOR toonboom PORT=<vendor daemon port> USE_SERVER

        Replace <server name> with the hostname of the server, <license server port> with the port that you want the license server to use, and <vendor daemon port> with the port that you want the vendor daemon to use.

TIP: You can also specify this_host as the server name to let the license server use the machine's hostname.
  1. Press Ctrl + Z to close the text input and save the file.

  2. If the license service is already running, restart it to make it take the new configuration in account:

    > NET stop ToonBoomLicense

    > NET start ToonBoomLicense
