The License Server Management Interface is a browser-based (Internet) utility that provides the following functionality:
- View current licenses in use (Who's using licenses)
- Reread license files (after activating or returning license codes through the Enterprise License Manager activation utility)
- Stop/Start the vendor daemon (the service that manages license use)
- Configure advanced settings for Enterprise License Manager
- Read and configure Alerts
- Add/modify console users
Because LMAdmin is a browser based utility, the screens do not refresh in real-time, they normally refresh after 5-10 seconds. Press <F5> or right-click and select Refresh/Reload to see the most current data.
To open the License Server Management Interface,
Launch any standard Web browser
Type "http://localhost:8090" in the address bar, the login screen displays (during installation, if you configured LMAdmin to use a port other than "8090" use that port number instead. See Configuring the Server in Related articles for more information)
By default, when you use Internet Explorer on a Windows Server operating system, most sites are blocked to prevent you from accessing potentially harmful sites/code. Please consult your Windows documentation for assistance with configuring Windows Security to allow access to this site You can also use a different Internet browser such as Google's Chrome.

Troubleshooting Connecting to the Admin Console
If an error message similar to the one shown below is displayed when attempting to connect to LMAdmin using "LocalHost:8090", there are a couple of things to check:
- Verify that the LMAdmin service is running using the Windows Management Console
- Make sure the port "8090" matches the port specified during LMAdmin installation - adjust as necessary
- Ensure your Windows firewall is not blocking this port
- Ensure that your Internet browser is not blocking the site (Internet Explorer, by default, is very restrictive)
