Installing the License Manager as a Service

To install the license manager service using the install.exe utility, follow this procedure:

1. Open a DOS Command Prompt window.

2. Move to the matlabroot folder, where matlabroot represents your MATLAB installation folder.

3. Enter the command

   install -c matlabroot\R2006b\flexlm\license.dat 
   -e matlabroot\R2006b\flexlm\lmgrd.exe
   

   where the -c flag specifies the name of the License File that was processed during the installation of the license manager on your license server and the -e flag specifies the name of the license manager daemon.

Specifying the Name of the License Manager Service

By default, the license manager service is called the MATLAB License Server in the Windows Services control panel. To specify a different name, specify the -n flag when you use install.exe, as follows:

install -c matlabroot\R2006b\flexlm\license.dat 
-e matlabroot\flexlm\lmgrd.exe -n my server
