Solution
If you want to use NI applications or software features that require licensing, such as remote front panels in LabVIEW, the license server must be running because those features are explicitly licensed through the NI License Manager.
If you also run personal firewall software on your computer, you must configure the firewall so the programs
nilm.exe,
lmgrd.exe, and
lmreread.exe can have access to TCP/IP. These programs do not communicate across the network as they only communicate with each other within the scope of your local computer. More information on this can be found in the
Configuring Software and Hardware Firewalls to Support National Instruments Products article.
If you do not use any NI applications or software features that require licensing, you can stop the NI License Manager from loading when you start your computer. Refer to
How to Disable NI Services and Startup Apps article.
