Last Update: 9/21/2022

If you fail to start the FLEXnet license server, and get error message in the log file like the following:

10:38:30 (lmgrd) license manager: can't initialize:Cannot find license file.
10:38:30 (lmgrd) The license files (or license server system network addresses) attempted are
10:38:30 (lmgrd) listed below. Use LM_LICENSE_FILE to use a different license file,
10:38:30 (lmgrd) or contact your software provider for a license file.
10:38:30 (lmgrd) Filename: "C:\flexlm\Originlicense.lic"
10:38:30 (lmgrd) License Path: "C:\flexlm\Originlicense.lic"
10:38:30 (lmgrd) FlexNet Licensing error:-1,359
10:38:30 (lmgrd) System Error:2 No such file or directory
