FLEXlm: Is it OK to run lmgrd as 'root' (Unix only)?

22-Apr-2026

It is not prudent to run any command, particularly a daemon, as root on Unix, as it may pose a security risk to the Operating System.

Therefore, it is recommended that lmgrd is run as a non-privileged user (not 'root'). If you are starting lmgrd from a boot script, we recommend that you use the following command to run lmgrd as a non-privileged user.

su username -c"umask 022; lmgrd..."
