ABAQUS FLEXlm License Server 6.6

ABAQUS FLEXlm License Server, developed by ABAQUS, Inc., is the network licensing component used to authorize and distribute Abaqus and other SIMULIA applications across an organization. Built on FlexNet Publisher (formerly FLEXlm), it centralizes license management, enables floating/concurrent access for engineering teams, and helps track usage for compliance and capacity planning.

Key capabilities:

• Centralized licensing for Abaqus/CAE, Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit, and Abaqus/Viewer
• Floating and token-based licensing models
• Runs as a Windows service or Linux/UNIX daemons (lmgrd plus the vendor daemon)
• High availability via license server redundancy (triad configurations)
• License borrowing for offline use (when enabled)
• Fine-grained control with an options file (user/group access, priorities, timeouts)
• Monitoring and reporting through FlexNet utilities (e.g., lmstat, lmdiag) and log files
• Configurable TCP ports to work with firewalls and VPNs

Typical deployment involves installing the server component, placing the provided license file, configuring service parameters (host, ports, and paths), and starting the service/daemons so client workstations can check out licenses at runtime.
