Here's the entire collaboration including my own extra mile with the local firewall which always seems to work for everything I install now and especially for Adobe product when countless people are having issues with that.

Create a new folder: C:\\FlexLM\nCopy LICENSE.DAT to FlexLM and change \"this_host\" in LICENSE.DAT to your host name (computer name)\nCopy the LicenseServer folder to C:\\FlexLM (structure should be C:\\FlexLM\\LicenseServer)\n*Files found in ISO under the MAGNiTUDE folder\n\n\n(I performed these exact steps so I laid them out as is.  This can probably be streamlined by not running lmgrd.exe at all and just setting up the service and running it)\n7. Run lmgrd.exe as admin.  Two CMD windows should pop up, keep them running\nRun lmtools.exe as admin\nMake sure \"Configuration Using Services\" is selected\nGo to the \"Config Services\" tab\nBrowse to the files for lmgrd and license.dat\nCheck the boxes to \"Use Services\" and \"Start Server at Power Up\"\nFinally hit the \"Save Service\" button to actually create the Windows service\nFully close lmtools.exe\nGo to services and start the newly created service\nRun lmtools.exe as admin again, go to Server status tab and click Perform Status Enquiry\nVerify licenses state 2 issued, 0 used\nClose lmtools.exe\n\n\n8. Run the software and choose:\n\nLicense type: Use a network license\nLicense server model: Single License Server\nName of the server: 27080@your_host_name\n\n9. In case software has no GUI - Add environment variable ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE and set value 27080@your_host_name\n\n\n10. Finally close out of everything including the CMD windows.  Stop the new service.  Restart the new service.  Enable NIC.  Cross your fingers and pray to whatever you may or may not find holy"}
