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 this file isn't working properly and needs to be reset. For example - on rare occasions, there can be invisible formatting artifacts left behind from old installations, server updates or testing, which can lead to License Server connectivity issues.
