Using the C Shell
To start the license manager daemon (lmgrd), enter the following command at the prompt,
./lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log & |
where license_file_path is the full path and filename of the network license file (by default, $HOME/MapleNetworkTools/activate/AEMBook2021.lic) and debug_log is the name of a file to which debugging information is written. The -l option (letter l, not the number 1 (one)) creates the file.

nohup lmgrd -c license_file_path -l debug_log 2>&1 & |
Run Daemons on Startup
To have the daemons run on startup, edit the appropriate boot script (such as /etc/rc.boot, /etc/rc.local, or /etc/rc2.d/Sxxxx). For example, if you run lmgrd as a boot startup script, you can run it as a regular user by using the following su command at the prompt:
su username -c \'umask 022; lmgrd_path -c license_file_path -l log_path\' |
where username is a non-privileged user; lmgrd_path is the correct path to the lmgrd file, license_file_path is the full path of the network license file (by default, $HOME/MapleNetworkTools/activate/AEMBook2021.lic), and log_path is the debug log file path. It is recommended that the network license file be called AEMBook2021.lic.

Named Network Users run Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple on their own client machines. These client machines are connected to the license server over the network. The Network Named User licensing option allows system administrators to strictly enforce which users, or client machines, may run Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple.
When you install Maple Network Tools, an options file (.opt) is automatically created in the $Maple Network Tools/activate directory.
Note: By default, the vendor daemon looks for the options file (maplelmg.opt) in the same directory that contains the license file used by the license server manager.
To set up Named Network User licensing, perform the following steps:
To manually edit the options file, perform the following steps:
INCLUDE Maple USER User1
