You may have other applications using FLEXnet licensing for licensing and wish to start the license server the same way as your other applications. In general, sflexnet was created to simplify the startup procedure, but it is not necessary. You can directly access the FLEXnet commands. All of the FLEXnet commands are delivered in the “$SONNET_DIR/arch/linux64/flexnet64” directory. An example of a startup line using the FLEXnet module directly is:
/opt/sonnet/arch/linu64/flexnet64/lmgrd -c /opt/sonnet/licenses/sonnet.lic
