I finally found the solution to automate the manual starting/stopping of server. 

There are a total of 11 steps in the readme.txt (which should actually be readme.rtf file as per header metadata).
My solution allows skipping steps 5-11 (both 5 and 11 inclusive) ie entire steps about configuring lmtools.exe for license server can be skipped.

Create a new file «Harmony.bat» or whatever you like but the file extension should be .bat with following contents:

Spoiler!
@echo off
rem === Change to Harmony bin directory ===
cd /d «C:\Program Files (x86)\Toon Boom Animation\Toon Boom Harmony 25 Premium\win64\bin»
 
rem === Start license server ===
echo Starting Toon Boom license server...
start "" lmgrd.exe -c toonboom.lic -l lmgrd.log
timeout /t 5 /nobreak >nul
 
rem === Launch Harmony ===
echo Launching Toon Boom Harmony 25 Premium...
start "" «C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Harmony 25 Premium\Harmony 25 Premium»
 
rem === Hide this CMD window ===
powershell -windowstyle hidden -command ""
 
rem === Wait until Harmony closes ===
:waitloop
tasklist | find /i «HarmonyPremium.exe» >nul
if not errorlevel 1 (
    timeout /t 5 /nobreak >nul
    goto waitloop
)
 
rem === Stop license server after Harmony exits ===
echo Stopping Toon Boom license server...
lmutil.exe lmdown -c toonboom.lic -q
 
echo Done. Closing now...
exit

Now, you just need to run this bat file as administrator (running as administrator is compulsary).

What this does:-
1. Starts the license server. You can see «flexem» in the task manager. 
2. Becomes hidden and runs Harmony Premium 25 from Start shortcut (which was added by default). You can change it to the Harmony .exe file in the bin folder if you want.
3. When Harmony is closed, the file stops the server and closes. You now won't see «flexem» in task manager.

Thanks for your time. Thanks for the admins for bringing this software.

Thanks a lot for this! It is working as expected.

However, I am forced to rerun the server from imtools every time the computer restarts. Any way to do this automatically? I mean, can the restarting of server be done such that it restarts whenever I click the harmony .exe file?
