8.4. Shutting Down the Licensing Interconnect

Issue the following command from the system on which the Licensing Interconnect is running to shut down the Licensing Interconnect, including the service on Windows systems:

ansysli_server –k stop

If you are administering the Licensing Interconnect and FlexNet separately, this command will shut down only the Licensing Interconnect. If you are administering the Licensing Interconnect and FlexNet together, this command will shut down both the Licensing Interconnect and FlexNet.

If you need to manually kill the Licensing Interconnect, terminate the processes in this order:

  1. ansysli_monitor

  2. ansysli_server

  3. lmgrd

  4. ansyslmd

If you are managing the Licensing Interconnect and FlexNet separately, you may not want to kill lmgrd and ansyslmd.
