FlexNet licensing error -97 - The desired vendor daemon is down

FlexNet licensing error -97: The desired vendor daemon is down

Unable to connect to the license server. Check that ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE is set correctly, and the license server is available.

This error indicates that the tools were able to contact the license server (lmgrd), but the vendor daemon (armlmd) did not respond.

This usually indicates that armlmd has crashed.

Check the server's debug log for a message indicating that lmgrd lost its connection to armlmd. Shut down lmgrd, and ensure that there are no remaining lmgrd or armlmd processes. Then restart lmgrd.
