There are instructions to setup a license server on Windows Vista that will start automatically. The License file and daemons included are good for ArcGIS ArcInfo with all the extensions, And Many autodesk packages (Civil 3D, Map3D, Raster Design, Revit Building (at least 9.0), Inventor Professional 11, Land desktop that i know of so far). You don't have to use Both daemons if you don't want to. To keep the one you don't want from starting, open the License.dat file inside of FlexLM and delete the pant where it says Server this-host any | Vendor xxxxxxx | use server First, if you are using the arcgis daemon, then you need th install the Sentinel Protection Installer 7.3.2 driver. Run the driver and just keep clicking next. When it gets to the point asking yes or no, click yes. Finish and restart your computer. To set up the server to run at startup (regardless of which daemons you have chosen to run. 1. Copy the FlexLM folder Directly under the C: drive (even if this isn't where you will install the software or isn't your system drive). 2. Import Set Server as Service.reg into the registry. 3. Edit the license.dat file, replacing both "this-host" sections with your computers name. 4. Goto Start>Run and type services.msc and go down to FlexLM Server 5. Double click on it and set startup type to Automatic (delayed Start) 6. Restart the computer. 7. Begin instalation of your software Note: If you have already installed the software, you will need to set your computer as the license server. In arcgis, goto start>arcgis>desktop administrator. Inside if desktop administrator, select License Manager and change it to your computer's name if it is not already. Autodesk software will ask you to name the license server at startup of the program if it can't find it.
