Hello

Thanks for the complete documentation.

I have a question here-

1.  When I install the License Manager for Windows, LMtools.exe also gets installed inside the FLex_LM folder.But it needs admin rights to run the application.

• https://www.nxp.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=CWX-FLEX-LM-WIN-V1-4&location=null

2. Also, a separate link for LMTools.exe is given-

• https://www.nxp.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=LMTOOLS_X64_64BIT_WIN 
• Here it does not need any admin rights.
• Could you please confirm I could use any of these two application files?

Thanks

The error message that you are getting is due to an update on Windows 10, you can use the 64bit and it will still work as expected.
