We loaded the lic file but get the following error on the Server Status tab: LMGRD has not been started yet.

Please let us know how to resolve this error.

Thanks for your question.  Usually when you receive that error message you just need to start the license server. 

•     In LMTOOLS, click the Start/Stop/Reread tab > Start Server.
•     or Start the FLEXnet server by opening a command line on the FLEXnet server while in the FLEXnet folder and typing:     lmgrd -c license.lic      Please view our "Network Installation Setup" at step#12, https://support.numericalinnovations.com/support/solutions/articles/14000026042-fab-3000-network-installation-setup-
