Description
The Client Licensing Settings application will create/update the ansyslmd.ini file when you specify a License Server and press Save. There may be times when you want to manually specify or validate the information in this file. For example - on occasion, there can be artifacts left behind from old installations, server updates or testing, which can lead to License Server connectivity issues.
