Mac OS X and Linux Procedures to Update FLEXnet

To determine the installed version of FLEXnet, you need to verify the version of the following files:

lmgrd
lmutil
adskflex

NoteVersion 11.9.0.0 of the FLEXnet license manager that ships with Autodesk products is backwards compatible, and will administer licenses for products from versions 2002 through 2012. Please note that Autodesk products older than version 2005 are no longer supported.

To verify the version of Mac OS X or Linux tools

You should be logged in with the same user ID you used when installing the FLEXnet files, for example, /Users/<userid>/adsknlm (Mac OS X) or /home/<userid>/adsknlm (Linux).

Enter the following commands in the terminal window/prompt:

<prompt>./lmutil -v
<prompt>./lmgrd -v
<prompt>./adskflex -v

The output of each command will look similar to this example:
