The License Server and the License Server Manager run as a service on your license server. If, on your license server, you go to http://localhost:8090/ and you see the following screen, the service might be down.
Go to Services (local) and start the "FlexNET License Manager" service manually:
If you imported a license file and the import was successful but the Dashboard shows the critical error "Vendor Demon down:marinlmd", as can be seen below, there is probably something wrong with the license file you imported.
Use a file explorer, go to the logs directory of the license server manager (by default C:\Program Files (x86)\Marin License Server Manager\logs) and open marinlmd.txt.
If you cannot find the cause of the vendor daemon being down, please send an email to support@marin.nl, state that you have an issue regarding the license server and add all the files in the logs directory.
We noticed that once an invalid license is imported, it's not possible to remove it using the License Server Manager, although that does seem possible in the Vendor Daemon Configuration screen. The server has to be reconfigured manually using the following steps:
Stop the FlexNET License Manager service
Go to Services (local) and stop the "FlexNET License Manager" service manually:
Use a file explorer, go to the conf directory (by default C:\Program Files (x86)\Marin License Server Manager\conf) and open server.conf for editing.
The server.conf file is actually an xml file. Remove the tag concerning the marinlmd daemon.
Save and close the file
Go to the licenses directory (by default C:\Program Files (x86)\Marin License Server Manager\licenses) in the file explorer and delete the marinlmd folder inside that directory.
Go to Services (local) and start the "FlexNET License Manager" service manually:
You can now import a valid license.
