License Server - Return - Online   

The instructions below are for Internet-connected license servers.

If your server cannot connect to the Internet or to FlexSim's main license server, try our offline/Manual XML license return instructions.

Assumed configurations

All steps below assume that you followed the installation instructions as described in our license server installation instructions, and that all FlexSim's license server files were extracted to the location C:\FlexSim_LMTOOLS. Throughout these instructions we will reference files inside that folder.

Find your fulfillment ID

On your license server, run the flexsimserveractutil.exe program (C:\FlexSim_LMTOOLS\flexsimserveractutil\flexsimserveractutil.exe) by right-clicking and selecting Run as Administrator.
