Start the FLM daemon on UNIX platforms

On Linux®/UNIX™ the License Manager runs as a daemon.

To start the License Manager daemon, execute either of the following commands:

flmprg -r is the short form of the command flmprg --service-start

flmprg -r

Alternatively, if using the license manager systemd service on Linux, you can execute the following command:

systemctl start flm.service

Important:

On Linux/UNIX systems, for security reasons, it is strongly recommended that the daemon be run as a non-privileged user (not root). To avoid issues with directory permissions, it is recommended that the non-privileged user should also add the licenses.

To stop the license manager, go to Stopping license manager.
