3.1 Starting the License Server

To start the network license server, you need to have a Command or Terminal window open:

  1. in administrator mode
  2. to the bin directory in the path that you selected to install the license server (for example, C:\Program Files\Microchip\xc_license_server\v3.30\bin.)

You will also need to know where the license files were installed. You can find this out by running, in the bin directory:

xclm -licensepath

Then you start the license server by running:

rlm -c <license path>

where rlm is the RLM license server and -c is the option to specify the directory that holds the license files, <license path>.

This starts the server and displays the log in the window. You must keep this window open so that the server will continue to run. If you need to have the server automatically run, please see the next section.
