The NILM License Manager is definitely refusing to start. Under Win2K Server, using the services administration panel (MMC), NILM License Manager shows a startup type as "Automatic" (which is correct), but the status is "Stopped". When I manually start the service, the error message returned is: Could not start the NILM License Manager Service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator." Which is not funny at all, since I am the sysadmin.
So what's up with that?

Couldn't afford to wait any longer for a response, so got a call # issued. Turns out port 27000 was in use by FlexLM (which is synonymous with FlexNet, apparently). Switched to port 27001 (and had to point clients explicitly to that port as well - leaving it blank doesn't work) and the service is running properly now. Any chance we could get a "port already in use" error message in the future?

ayeckley,
Thanks for the feedback. There has already been a request put into R&D to give better feedback when this problem occurs and they are looking into the possibility of including this in future versions of VLM. Looks like you're not the only one that's had this problem before, so I imagine they're working on improving that.

Hi
I got the same problem with site license.
(windows 7 (home) + LabVIEW 2013fall)
The following seems it might work.
1) Go to the folder of
C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\License Manager\Data
2) there are 2 files of “lmgrd.log” and “servers.ini”, in my case.
3) Replace it from the folder to, for example, desktop.
4) run the license manager again.

Hi Takuizk,
Were you able to resolve the issue with that KB you have included?
If not are you able to ping the server and client computers and vice versa? When you put in netstat in command window, is the port in license file being used by the NI VLM?
Let me know.
