Vendor Daemon is not RUNNING

Description à You have opened the FlexNET License administrator, and you are checking the tab Vendor Daemon Configuration, but it’s not RUNNING! (Running_pending is also not equal to RUNNING, so that status is also not good)

Solution

The reason it cannot start must be removed!

Option 1: Check your security software

Sometimes the security software (e.g. Anti-virus) blocks the vendor daemon.

1. Deactivate the security software and check if the vendor daemon works.
   1. If yes: You can turn the security software on, but you must add exceptions to the security software so that it allows the Vendor Daemon to run.
   2. If no: Then something else is blocking the Vendor Daemon.

Option 2: Disable Data Execution Prevention

The vendor daemon is run by the executable scia.exe. This can also be blocked by Windows.

We refer to chapter "FlexNET License Administrator page is not found!", on p."FlexNET License Administrator page is not found!", which shows how to check and modify this setting.

Option 3: Check LMtools (if it exists on the machine) LMTools is the predecessor of LMAdmin. Find and open LMTOOLS. Under the tab Config Services, select the service which runs for SCIA Engineer. Uncheck Start Server at Power Up and uncheck Use Services. Save your settings.
