License server
A license server is required for floating license versions. It needs to be installed on a dedicated machine in your network which is accessible over TCP/IP from the workstations that will run IDA.
The license server consists of two parts:
The license server manager
Called ‘lmadmin’, it is provided by Flexera. If you do not already have the FlexNet license server manager installed, download and install it from the links below.
We also provide the now-deprecated, console-only ‘lmgrd’ server. This is the predecessor to ‘lmadmin’, and provide only a subset of its features.
The vendor daemon
Called ‘hexrays(.exe)’, it is provided by Hex-Rays. This binary needs to be placed next to the license server manager executable, ‘lmadmin(.exe)’ (or ‘lmgrd(.exe)’)
You also can use another path, but you will need to edit the VENDOR line in the license file sent to you during the activation.
