If you modify a license file while the license daemons are running, such as when you receive a new license file, you need to restart the license server to read the new license files. The license daemons do not see the changes until they restart the license file.
Follow these steps to force the daemons to see the new license file.
- On the license server, log in as cdsmgr.
- Configure the new license file with Cadence installation software or an editor.
- Decide if you must shut down the license daemons.

- stop and restart the daemons if you need to.
- If the new license file contains changes to licenses currently in use, users must exit and restart the applications to use the new features.
- If the users located the old license file with the CDS_LIC_FILE or LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable and the location of the license file has changed, they must change the path specified by the variable.
