Why Does "NILM License Manager" Show Up in LMTools? Primary Software: Other NI Software>>NI Volume License ManagerPrimary Software Version: 2.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: Secondary Software:
Problem: I am using National Instruments Volume License Manager to manage my NI product licensing. I installed LMTools to manage my FLEXlm server(s) for third party product licensing. Why does the "NILM License Manager" show up in the service names listed on the Config Services tab? Does this mean I can start and stop this service from LMTools? Solution: If you are using the VLM software, National Instruments strongly recommends that you DO NOT edit NI License Manager settings using LMTools. Use the VLM software to make and apply changes for NI product licensing. LMTools is the graphical user interface Macrovision® provides to access tools for managing FLEXlm services. "NILM License Manager" shows up in LMTools because the VLM was built on top of the FLEXlm architecture. This means that VLM installs its own FLEXlm components (like lmgrd.exe) that LMTools will recognize.It is possible to use your existing FLEXlm system instead of NI VLM to manage your licenses.
