Option 1: Perform a license reread

1. In the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications web UI, navigate to Servers > License Manager Summary.
2. Click on the affected license server.
3. Select Reread All to reload the license and options files.

Option 2: Restore the Options file

If a license reread does not resolve the issue, verify whether the Options file exists in the \data\rep\opt\ directory.

1. To locate your DATA directory:
• Run the FlexNet Site Configurator and check Step 2 of 6, or
• Open <Install Directory>\FLEXnet\manager\admin\config\site.properties and search for the data.dir= value.
• By default, the path is:

<Install Directory>\FLEXnet\manager\data\

2. Check the \rep\opt\ folder within the data directory.

3. If the Options file is missing:
   • Recover the most recent Options file from backups, or
   • Retrieve the file from the old \DATA\ directory if the environment was recently upgraded or migrated.

4. Once restored, you should be able to access the Options file via the web UI.

Option 3: Re-add the license server

If the above steps fail:

1. Remove the license server from the web UI.
2. Re-add the license server.
• This will recreate all necessary files, including the Options file.

After completing these steps, the Options file should be viewable and editable from the web UI.
