on a Windows NT or Windows 2000 machine when installing or configuring the license server?
It is not required to install or configure the license server as root on UNIX, however on Windows NT and Windows 2000 workstations, if FLEXlm is being installed then an administrator or account with administrative priveledges (specifically to Services) is necessary. Afterwards, depending on the account type and permissions on the installed files, any user may configure the FlexLM license server through setup or ptcsetup.
