We highly recommend running the FlexNet license server (lmadmin) as a service (on Windows) or a daemon (on OS X or Linux).
As a result, the server can start automatically after the machine boots. Starting the server manually is not user-friendly – there is no GUI for this action.
If your operating system is Windows, you only need to select the Run as a service check box when prompted during the lmadmin installation.

For the instructions on how to create a daemon, refer to Automatic Start in:
In the open folder, create the licenses\cameo folder.
Place the vendor daemon in <FlexNet server installation folder>\licenses\cameo. Image Modified
Note
Note that all files in FNPLicenseServerManager must have read/write permissions. lmadmin or cameo daemon may not start even if a log file or cameo daemon does not have r/w permissions.
Use this command to set permissions for all files within the directory recursively.
chmod -R 755 FNPLicenseServerManager
Start the server by running the lmadmin file from the FlexNet server installation directory.
