Update License Manager Installation

To update an existing license manager installation:

Shut down the license manager server.
- For Linux and OS X systems, use the lmdown command. For additional information, see Using the License Manager Command-Line Utilities.
- For Windows systems, use LMTOOLs. For additional information, see Using LMTOOLS (Windows Systems Only).
If you are updating a license manager installation on a Windows system, remove the existing service to prevent any conflicts, as follows:
1. Start LMTOOLS by double-clicking the lmtools.exe file in the matlabroot\etc\$ARCH folder, where matlabroot is your MATLAB^® installation folder and $ARCH is a platform-specific subfolder, such as win64.
2. Select the Config Services tab.
3. From the Service Name menu, select the service you want to remove and click Remove Service.
Follow the installation procedures in Install License Manager Using a File Installation Key or Install License Manager Using a MathWorks Account.
