B Cleaning registry references to the
FlexLM license server for RGS
This appendix provides supplemental information on removing FlexLM references from the Windows
registry. The registry keys listed in this appendix are not removed during uninstallation of RGS and
might need to be removed manually if you are experiencing issues using a FlexLM server.
CAUTION: Back up the registry prior to making any changes. See Windows documentation for more
information.
When a FlexLM license server is used with RGS, the FlexLM libraries will add the license server
information to the following registry keys:
●
HKLM\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm License Manager\HPQ_LICENSE_FILE
●
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment
\LM_LICENSE_FILE
●
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment
\HPQ_LICENSE_FILE
●
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\Environment
\LM_LICENSE_FILE
●
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\Environment
\HPQ_LICENSE_FILE
●
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
\LM_LICENSE_FILE
●
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
\HPQ_LICENSE_FILE
●
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\FLEXlm License Manager\LM_LICENSE_FILE
NOTE: Some keys might not be present in your registry.
In some cases, there may be other registry entries that are used by FlexLM. To find them, you will
need to search the registry for keys named either "LM_LICENSE_FILE" or "HPQ_LICENSE_FILE".
The value of these keys will be the license server paths, as specified by the environment variables.
See
Configuring the RGS Sender to access a floating license on Windows on page 8 for details on
these values and how they are set.
CAUTION: Any registry keys named "LM_LICENSE_FILE" may be used by any application that
accesses a FlexLM license server on the system. If other applications besides RGS are using a
FlexLM license server, they may be adversely impacted by any changes made to the
LM_LICENSE_FILE registry entries. Any registry keys named "HPQ_LICENSE_FILE" may be used
by any HP application that accesses a FlexLM license server. If other HP applications besides RGS
are using a FlexLM license server, they may be adversely impacted by any changes made to the
HPQ_LICENSE_FILE registry entries.
