Instructions to manually uninstall/stop the ENVI/IDL license manager service on Mac OS X
THIS INFORMATION ONLY PERTAINS TO SOFTWARE VERSIONS IDL 8.5, ENVI 5.3 AND PRIOR
To manually uninstall and stop the Exelis license manager service on Mac OS X, follow the instructions below:
The ENVI 5.0/IDL 8.2 license manager service on Mac OS X is installed as a Mac LaunchDaemons service. Consequently, the "lmdown" command will not prevent the license manager service from automatically relaunching (without rebooting). Instead, to manually stop/uninstall the license manager service, issue the following commands with sudo or root privileges:
/bin/launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.exelis.lmgrd.plist
For example, to run with "sudo" privileges, issue the command:
sudo /bin/launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.exelis.lmgrd.plist
To manually uninstall the IDL 8.1 or IDL 8.0/ENVI 4.8 license manager service issue the command:
/bin/launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ittvis.lmgrd.plist
After issuing the "launchctl unload" command(s), reboot the system to halt any remnant "lmgrd" and "idl_lmgrd" processes.
