Open the Control Panel by clicking on Start → Settings → Control Panel.

Double click on the System icon in the Control Panel.

Locate the environment variables setting tab. This is on the Advanced tab.

Create a new system environment variable ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE and set its value. This must include valid port@server information. If a default port in the range between 27000 and 27009 is used on the server, then the port number is omitted in the environment variable.

If you are using a single server floating license, you would set the environment variable value to something similar to:

8224@my_server

If you are using a three server license, or wish to refer to more than one license server, you would set the environment variable value to something similar to:

8224@my_serverA;8224@my_serverB;@my_serverC

The master server appears first, and in this example is my_serverA. The entry for my_serverC is not preceded by a port number because in this example a default port number is being used.
