                          ERROR - spawn lmutil ENOENT

                          Authored by Steve Barnett December 6th, 2023 4796 views 2 likes KB1848256

                          ERROR

                          When launching Licensing Client Settings (2022R2) or Licensing Settings (2023R1) you receive the following error:


                          You may also receive the follow error when launching from terminal, despite the executable showing in the folder:

                          ubuntu@admin:/mnt/ansys_inc/v222/licensingclient/linx64$ sudo ./lmutil
                          sudo: unable to execute ./lmutil: No such file or directory
                          
                          ubuntu@admin:/mnt/ansys_inc/v222/licensingclient/linx64$ ls -l ./lmutil
                          -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1280760 Apr 12 2022 ./lmutil
                          
                          


                          Software & Version

                          Licensing Settings 2023R1 and Licensing Client Settings 2022R2 running Ubuntu

                          *This documented instance of this error occurred in this version but is not necessarily limited to this version.

                          Description/Cause

                          Dependency is not installed/missing.

                          *The cause(s) we identified in this documented instance may not be the only cause(s) for this error.

                          Solution

                          In this case, the missing dependency is "lsb" or "lsb-core".  Running the following command in the terminal will resolve the issue:

                          ubuntu@admin:/mnt/ansys_inc/v222/licensingclient/linx64$ sudo apt-get install lsb
                          
                          or
                          
                          ubuntu@admin:/mnt/ansys_inc/v222/licensingclient/linx64$ sudo apt-get install lsb-core


                          A full list of dependencies for each Linux distro can be found in the Linux Installation Guide in the Ansys Customer Portal from the Downloads section or in our article HOW TO - Install Ansys' Required Linux Packages & Libraries:
