Starting and stopping the CLC Network License Manager without running it as a service
If you choose not to run the CLC Network License Manager as a service, you can start, stop and restart the server directly by editing the file <installationDirectory>/runscript/clclicsrv with a text editor (e.g. nano, pico, emacs, vi or similar), providing the relevant information for your installation and environment and then running that script with the argument start, stop or restart.
- To start the server, run the command:
<installationDirectory>/runscript/clclicsrv start - To stop the server, run the command:
<installationDirectory>/runscript/clclicsrv stop - To restart the service, run the command:
<installationDirectory>/runscript/clclicsrv restartIf you make changes to the service while it is running by editing the licenseserver.cfg file, or if you add or remove license files from the
licensesfolder, then you need to restart the server to get the changes to take effect.
The commands given in this section must be run by a user with administrative privileges.
