Issue:

The ECE Licensing Service needs to be restarted.


Causes:

The licensing type has changed.

Licenses are not being released.


Solution:

Sign into the computer that runs the ECE Licensing Service (the license server for network licenses, or your own computer for a single-computer license), open the Windows Services and restart the ECE Licensing Service.

  1. Click the Windows start button or use the Windows Key.
  2. Search for Services
  3. Open the Services App



In the Services App, find and restart the ECE Licensing Service.

  1. Find the ECE Licensing Service 
  2. Restart it by Right-clicking -> Restart or using the Restart the service button on the left.

Note:

This must be done on the computer that runs the ECE Licensing Service. For a network license that is the license server, not each user's computer.

If the service stops every time the computer restarts, see ECE Licensing Service Does Not Start After Reboot.
