How to change the FlexNet Embedded Windows Local License Server Wrapper logs location
Question
How to change the flexnetlsw.wrapper.log location of LLS which currently defaults to the location <LLS_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY>\server\logs?
Answer
Wrapper logs come from default tomcat of LLS which is in embedded mode and there isn't a direct way to change it as the logfile is under the control of flexnetls.bat (flexnetlsw.exe). However one can workaround this by modifying the logpath i.e "<logpath>%BASE%\logs</logpath> " present in flexnetlsw.xml file located in the server directory.
The server install process generates this flexnetlsw.xml file. So, while doing the above change make sure you do not change anything else in this file.
CAUTION:
1)After doing uninstall/reinstall, you need to make sure that the changes are made again as reinstallation may reset this config file.
2) If you remove the line <logpath>%BASE%\logs</logpath>, the log flexnetlsw.wrapper.log, will stop writing.
