License keys are issued for 12 months, but the license agreement may cover a longer period. In this case, after approx. 11 months, you will receive new keys for the following 12 months. The new license keys are valid immediately from the time you receive it.

First, copy the license file, that you have received from us by email, onto your computer.


Using lmadmin (recommended)

  1. In the lmadmin web interface, go to "Administration > Vendor Daemon Configuration", click on "Import License"
  2. Choose the new license file
  3. Check the box "Overwrite License File on License Server." This will copy the license file to the lmadmin directory, where all license files are collected.
  4. Click "Import License"
  5. Read the Import Information and click on "OK"
  6. Back in the vendor daemon overview, click on the "BIOSOLVE" entry
  7. Check, whether the new license file appears in the list "General Configuration > License File or Directory"; now the file name should be a relative path beginning with "licenses/BIOSOLVE/", see point 3 above.
  8. Click on "Reread License Files"
  9. Again, the vendor daemon overview should appear with a green message "The license file was successfully reread."
  10. You're done!

Using lmgrd

If you are using windows, change license file name with the program lmtools, section "Config Services". Don't forget to "Save Service", then switch to the "Start/Stop/Reread" section. Click "Stop Server" and "Start Server", that's all.

Linux users may activate the new license keys by one of the following workflows.
  • Run the license server with a license directory
    • If you have started the license manager daemon with a license directory:
      lmgrd -c -l <biosolveit-license-dir> -l <biosolve-license.log>
      you simply have to drop the new license file (with file name suffix ".lic") into that directory.
      (Replace "<biosolveit-license-dir>" by the license directory name and "<biosolve-license.log>" by the log file name.)
    • Reread all license files in that directory
      lmutil lmreread -c <biosolveit-license-dir>
      (Replace "<biosolveit-license-dir>" by the license directory name.)
  • Rename the new license file
    • Rename the new license file to the file name of the old (current) license file. You may want to make a backup copy of your current license file first.
      Reread the license file:
      lmutil lmreread -c <biosolveit-license.lic>
  • Restart the license server
    • Stop the current license server:
      lmutil lmdown
    • Start the license server manager daemon with the new license file:
      lmgrd -c <new-biosolveit-license.lic> -l <biosolve-license.log>
      (Replace "<new-biosolveit-license.lic>" by the license key file name and "<biosolve-license.log>" by the log file name.)
