Upgrade the FLM without re-applying licenses

When you upgrade the Four Js license manager, you do not need to reinstall your existing licenses.

  1. Make a backup copy of your FLM configuration file, FLMDIR/etc/lmprofile
  2. Start the command line interface.
    1. Open a command prompt.
      • On Windows®, open the License Manager Workplace window from the Start menu.
      • On Linux®, open a command prompt. "sudo" may be required.
    2. Type flmprg -s

      The FLM service is stopped.

  3. Install the new FLM package in the same directory as the existing installation.

    Take the option to overwrite the existing files.

  4. Replace the configuration file at FLMDIR/etc/lmprofile with the backup copy created in Step 1.

    Overwrite the existing file.

  5. Remove every file and directory in the FLMDIR/lock/ path.
  6. Start your new FLM
    flmprg -r

It is also recommended to upgrade the license controllers for your Genero Business Development Language (fglWrt) or Genero Report Writer (greWrt) installations at this time. See Patching a license controller.
