Installing and starting Intel® Software License Manager on Windows*

Published: 01/04/2012

Last Updated: 10/12/2017

Windows* 8, Windows* 10 and Windows* Server 2012 require administrator privileges for installation or removal of the license manager as a service. Therefore, run the setup for the Intel® Software License Manager for FLEXlm* on Windows* as an administrator for successful execution.

Run lmconfig.exe "as Administrator" directly from the folder below in Windows* Explorer, if the Start menu doesn't allow running as administrator:

   - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\FLEXlm  (For IA-32)

   - C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\FLEXlm (For Intel® 64)
