FlexLM license server for Quartus Standard. Current version is 11.16.2. I need to upgrade to 11.18.2

Hi,

    I have a running FlexLM license server version 11.16.2. I went to this location Flexlm License Daemons for Intel® FPGA Software and downloaded the latest 11.18.2.0 daemon files. I stopped the flexLM service then copied the new files to the install folder (overwriting the previous version of the files). I tried to start the service and it will not start. I reverted back to the old files and it starts fine. Am I missing a step?

Hello

 

Welcome to Intel forum. What do you mean by “service will not start” To further understand the issue, could you get me the:

·      Full Output of “lmutil lmstat –a –c <port>@<address>” server and client

·      LMTOOLS server status screenshot/error screenshot

The files attached are the current "Running" license daemon v11.16.2. I need to upgrade to v11.18.2. If I shutdown the Intel License Manager Windows service and copy the new daemon files to the FlexLM directory, the Windows service Intel license manager errors out.

Thanks for update. Could you first update your FlexLM License manager to latest version 11.18. here some useful link to refer https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-network-license-manager-for-windows.html?_ga=2.256482891.1511381821.1661418550-470234694.1646730365

We have not heard from you and I hope that my last note clears up this matter and it can now be move forward. I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.

Sorry, I was out of the office. I will try this upgrade tonight and let you know how it goes.

 

Best Regards,

Update: I guess the issue was the OS version of our license server. The new Intel License Manager does not work on Windows 2016. I built a new Windows 2019 server and it is running as expected.

 

Thanks for your help!
