Dear all, and specially h2hydrogenz:
I spent all day studying the subject. I found a way to make it work (at least in my computer).
I read the FlexNet End User Guide (from now on simply “User Guide”). You can download it from [link Point to another website Only the registered members can access]
This User Guide explains the different types of “lic” files. When comparing the “lic” file of this software with the examples provided in the User Guide, one realizes that this is Node-Locked “lic” file, subtype “uncounted” (refer to User Guide page 25).
If the number of lic… is uncounted, then the lic… does not require an lmgrd or a vendor daemon because it is not going to count the concurrent usage of the features.
To make it simple…., proceed as follow and it will work…
1- The first line of “lic” file shall be: SERVER this_host [Ethernet address]
(To get your ethernet address run LmTools, go to Systems Settings tab –left side-.)
2- Do not add in the “lic” file a second line such VENDOR scplmd or a third line such USE_SERVER.
3- Run the Lic… Handler, choose the third option (node locked lic…), press the “configure” button, specify the path to the "lic" file, press the "ok" button, and then the "close" button.
4- Run LmTools. Go to the “Server Status” and press the only button you will see in such tab. Then, go to the “Server Diags” tab and press the only button you will see there. In both cases you should see the related status reports indicating that all is ok.
5- Run the software. It should work. If not, let me know. It is not easy to provide a comprehensive and detailed step by step procedure. I have been working on this during the last 10 hours. I do not exactly remember all what I did. I think I summarized the relevant subjects.
Hope this helps. Thank you.
