[bmüller]

Hi,

is there an option to allow non Admins to use ptcflush/lmremove only on a Windows based FLEXlm server?

but not lmdown or so?

adminOnly yes, enables all these features, afaik.

Hi,

read https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS31332 document ...

• For FLEXNet Admin License Server version 11.10.1
  • Stop the license server
  • Go to the installation directory of FLEXNet Admin License Server 11.10.1 
  • Go to the “conf” folder and open “server.xml” in WordPad
  • Make the changes in the server.xml file as per a following example:
    <licenseServer adminOnly="true" .................... licenseReclaimAllowed="false"
                   
                                                       -- To --
                                   
    <licenseServer adminOnly="false" ................... licenseReclaimAllowed="true"
  • Start the license server

Hi,

it looks like you need to grant rights to lmadmin_ptc service to specific user.
