Can't start Flexlm service with parameters

lmgrd version is 11.8.0.0, installed on Windows Server 2003. Firstly, the service was running without any parameter, and it was fine. Then I tried to run lmgrd.exe with [-x lmdown] in the Windows service in order to prevent users shutting down the services accidentally. Whatever what I try, the service will not start, and it alway gives me the same error message - Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Have anyone else run into this situation? Is flexlm service able to start with parameters?

Hi,

Not sure if you've found the answer to this, but if you read this article by IBM it will show you how to use the Registry and the 'cmdlineparams' key to add these:
