Where did my Server Administration tab in SolidNetWork License Manager go?<\/h1>\n

Have you ever opened your SolidNetWork License Manager <\/strong>only to find the Server Administration<\/strong> tab was missing?<\/p>\n

\"SolidNetWork<\/a>
Where did the Server Administration<\/strong> tab go?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You may not know this if you are just a user of a SolidNetWork License (SNL) license: To manage the license server, you need to go into the Server Administration<\/strong> tab of the SolidNetWork License Manager. On the server machine, this can normally be accessed by clicking Start > All Programs > SOLIDWORKS 2016 > SOLIDWORKS Tools > SolidNetWork License Manager 2016 (or your current version of SOLIDWORKS).<\/p>\n

Using the Server Administration tab, you can Start server, modify or reread licenses, set rules for access to licenses, and also view SNL logs.<\/p>\n

However in some cases, your computer is both a license server and a client machine. And when you try to access license server you notice that it comes with only 4 tabs! What\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n

Actually, the The 4-Tab SNL Manager<\/strong> and the 5-Tab SNL Manager <\/strong> are stored in different locations on your computer:.<\/p>\n

The path to the 4-Tab SNL Manager is :<\/p>\n

C:\\Program Files\\SolidWorks Corp\\SolidWorks\\setup\\i386\\swlmwiz.exe<\/strong><\/p>\n

The path to the 5-Tab SNL Manager is :<\/p>\n

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SolidWorks Corp\\SolidNetWork License Manager\\utils\\swlmwiz.exe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note: The 5-Tab SNL Manager resides in folder\u00a0Program Files (x86)<\/strong>. This indicates it is an 32-bit application.<\/p>\n

Depending on where you installed SOLIDWORKS, the folder structure may vary computer to computer. The important difference is that the 5-Tab version is found under the Program Files (x86) folder and the 4-tab one is under the Program Files folder. You can search those folders for swlmwiz.exe if you\u2019re unable to find it.<\/p>\n

It is a good practice create a shortcut of this executable to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n
