Here are the general steps to update your GibbsCAM CIMLM (Cimatron License Manager) server. 


1. At the server, open "License Server Monitor".


2.  Stop NLO Service and click License Manager.


3.  Backup (Optional but Recommended): 

Although the update process is usually straightforward, it's always a good practice to back up your current license files and server configuration in case something goes wrong.


If you encounter issues overwriting the license file during activation, try removing the existing license file from the data folder first.

C:\ProgramData\3D Systems\LicFiles\Network


4. Click Activation Tool.


5. Generate and Deploy the New License File: 

Select Network License Server and run Registration Tool. Follow the wizard to complete the activation.


6. Once the server license is updated and the service has started, run the Regi Tool to update clients.
