FlexNet License Manager Software Components

The license manager consists of the following software components:

•	License manager daemon (lmgrd)

•	Vendor daemon (LMCOMSOL)

•	FlexNet utility program (lmutil and others)

The two daemons (lmgrd and LMCOMSOL) run on the license server. When a user starts COMSOL on a client computer, communication is established through the network from the client to the license server and the license manager daemon (lmgrd). That daemon in turn makes a request to the vendor daemon (LMCOMSOL), which releases licenses according to information in the license.dat file. The FlexNet utility programs are used to handle license server management tasks.
