Retrieving Client Licenses

To terminate a client SolidNetWork connection, a system administrator can stop the license and return it to the free license pool.


  • The client must have been connected to the license manager for at least two minutes.
  • You can configure the SolidNetWork timeout feature to be the 15-minute minimum. After 15 minutes of idle time, that license is returned to the free license pool.

For details, see SolidNetWork_License_Manager_install_dirDocsflexuserlicensingenduserguide.pdf.

  1. Click Start > Run, type cmd, and then click OK to open a Windows command window.
  2. In the command window, enter: 
      cd SolidNetWork_License_Manager_install_dirutils  lmutil lmremove feature user computer display

    where feature, user, computer, and display are the terms shown on the License Usage tab of the SolidNetWork License Manager.

    For example:

    lmutil lmremove solidworks carlos designcmp1 corpserver

    You must terminate the license for each add-in product (PhotoView 360, FeatureWorks, etc.) separately.
