Starting and stopping the License Manager

1. Launch the ArcGIS License Server Administrator from Start > Programs > ArcGIS > License Manager > License Server Administrator.
2. Select Start/Stop License Service in the table of contents using the Start, Stop, or Re-read Licenses buttons to manage the license service.

From the command line, switch to the License Manager installation location (the default installation location is c:\program files\arcgis\license10.2\bin) and run the following commands:

• To start the License Manager:

  c:\program files\arcgis\license10.2\bin> lmgrd -z -c service.txt

• To stop the License Manager:

  c:\program files\arcgis\license10.2\bin> lmutil lmdown -c service.txt

For UNIX/Linux, use the following command to launch the License Server Administrator:

[ install_path ]/arcgis/license10.2/LSAdmin

To start and stop the license service, use the same commands as above.

Note:

Restarting the license server will overwrite existing data in the debug log. If you wish to save the existing data, make a backup of the debug log before restarting the license server or rebooting the machine. The audit log is not affected by restarting the license server.
