In this article we explain explain problems that arise when using an out-dated license manager with a newer version of GeoStudio.  You may receive the following warning message when installing GeoStudio:

Cause

• Both the lmadmin license manager and GeoStudio rely on underlying licensing technology (the license 'toolkit) to communicate with one another.
• The license manager can serve licenses to GeoStudio clients that have a toolkit version number equal to, or less than its own version number.
• At times is becomes necessary to update GeoStudio and lmadmin license toolkits.
• Unless both are updated, you may experience this warning.
• You will typically experience this message when installing GeoStudio 2016 version 8.16.3.15721 (or later) while using a license manager earlier than lmadmin 9.

Before You Begin

• Since this is only a warning, you can bypass this message and continue installing GeoStudio by checking the 'Disregard license status warning, and continue with upgrade' check box.
• Although you can continue installing GeoStudio, you may still have a problem with getting licenses from the license manager. 

Steps to Resolve

• Upgrade your license server to lmadmin 9. Please refer to the following article for upgrade instructions:
