The Smoke license server does not start when the Mac boots

Problem

The license server does not automatically start after the Mac reboots.

Solution

This issue is due to the fact that the network device on your Mac is not up when the license server attempts to start.

Perform the following tasks to fix this issue:

1. Open the /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.autodesk.adlm.plist file in a text editor.
    
2. Add a KeepAlive keyword with a NetworkState dict subkey in the file, and remove the <key>AbandonProcessGroup</key><true/> keyword, as highlighted in the following example:
    
   Note: Be very careful when editing this file. Any typo or accidental deletion may prevent the license server from starting.
    
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
   <plist version="1.0">
   <dict>
   <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
   <dict/>
   <key>RunAtLoad</key>
   <true/>
   <key>KeepAlive</key>
   <dict>
   <key>NetworkState</key>
   <true/>
   </dict>
   <key>Label</key>
   <string>com.autodesk.adlm</string>
   <key>ProgramArguments</key>
   <array>
   <string>python</string>
   <string>/usr/local/flexnetserver/lmgrdLauncher</string>
   </array>
    <key>AbandonProcessGroup</key>
   <true/>
   </dict>
   </plist>
    
3. Save and close the file, and then reboot your Mac.
