License Manager does not start after upgrading to ArcGIS 10.3

Description

After upgrading ArcGIS License Manager to ArcGIS 10.3, the License Manager does not start, or it stops shortly after starting.

Cause

2. At the command prompt in the Start Search box or the Run box, type the command:

3. The Computer Management window opens. Navigate to Services and Applications > Services.

   • Windows Management Instrumentation
   • WMI Performance Adapter
