Missing Flexnet Service

Anonymous — Thu, 19 May 2016 13:34:31 GMT

I am missing the "Flexnet Licensing Service" service. I have the "Flexnet Licensing Service 64" service. Are there files I can download to resolve the issue?

Hello oldsimp

It looks like you need to find out more about downloading or re-downloading software, or are having issues that may be resolved by re-downloading.

For Windows users, before downloading products on Windows 10, please check that the product is compatible.

Can you post a screenshot of your error and where you get it?

Welcome to the community, @Anonymous

The reason you don't have it is because you don't have any 32bit application that needs the 32bit flexnet engine. You can disregard not having it.

In addition, if you're referring to the "Launching program results in Softlock License Manager error" then the licensing mechanism is screwed up which mean you'll need to perform a CLEAN UNINSTALL/REINSTALL.

Receiving the following error. It's been years since i have messed with AutoCAD LM services, but it seems you may need the licensing service to be present in order to issues licenses. Please correct me if i am wrong.
