lmgrd is the Flex License Manager. It should only be run on your local machine if you are using it as a Flex License Server. It's like a license repository for floating licenses that yours and other machines can check out. If you're using a floating license, it doesn't usually make sense to run the license server on the machine you're using to run a high end simulator or CAD program.
