Problem Running ECLIPSE from PETREL

[Alphino]

Hi Eveyone
I Have both Petrel 2010 and Eclipse 2005 (both with -------- ) installed on my Laptop and they both work Great .
The problem is that, whenever I try to run eclipse from petrel ,it fails to run eclipse saying it can not find eclipse license. .

(by right clicking on imported case in "cases" panel and select simulation run )

However, if I use eclipse launcher to run eclipse ,it works fine and run my data file without any error.
I suspect that this might have something with --------s .
Do you ever encountered the same problem and is there any solution for this ?
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated

Cheers !

Go to your environment variable setting. Try to put Petrel and Eeclipse under same variable name

Example

Variable name=LM_LICENSE_FILE
Variable value=27007@LOCALHOST;c:\ecl\home\license.dat

Variable value 27007@LOCALHOST for Petrel and c:\ecl\home\license.dat for Eclipse. Don't use separate variable name for eclipse and Petrel

friend，have you solved the problem？when running the case from petrel？

Thanks every one.After so many tries,I finally managed to solve this problem .and now I can launch eclipse from petrel (Eclipse 2009 and Petrel 2010.2 both 32 bit on windows 7 64 bit )
Here is how I Solved it

1) Do not use LMTOOLS.exe for setting the license files.Instead, use "SLBLicensing.exe" (yellow lock icon in flex folder ) and add both eclipse and petrel license files using this application.
2) Remebrer to run "SLBLicensing.exe" "As Administrator" in windows 7 and vista.
3) After adding licenses ,click start button . It will give you the "License successfully run" message.
4) ****very important***
Make Sure to use the same port number in both license files.
open both your license files and find this line .It is usually the first line :

SERVER computerName ANY 8888

here is used the 8888 for license port number. this number should be exactly the same in both licnese files.

5) got to C:\ecl\home and open "$eclrc.bat" using Notepad or any text editor. find the following line.

:SET LM_LICENSE_FILE=8888@localhost;

***Important**** --> remove the : before this line, otherwise eclipse consider it as a comment line.

SET LM_LICENSE_FILE=8888@localhost;

I wrote my 8888 port number in that line . you should write your desired port number which you have already wrote in your license files.

6) Save this changes.
7) windows 7 does not allow you to "Save".Instead of "Save" use "Save As " option and Save the modified file in desktop( or wherever you like). Then copy it from desktop and replace it in the "home" folder.
8) Enjoy running eclipse from Petrel Halesho bebarin!

At which point exactly, you stuck ?
1)Did you set your computer name in the license file ? (SERVER computerName ANY 8888 ) you need to change the ComputerName in here to your computer name )
2)Paste the error message you get in here !
3)does your license is only valid for a specific MAC address or it is valid for any system ? ( SERVER computerName ANY 8888 , Does your fist line in license look like line before? can you see "ANY" i it ? )
Check these points and let me know

Hi Junay,

Just follow the instruction. In my case I use port 27009. If your eclipse is x32 version and your petrel x64. If you try to run eclipse from petrel x64 it will give license error. I assumed petrel try to launch x64 version as well. So I manage it by changing the x64 folder name in eclise/bin. So Petrel will not find it, and It will launch x32 version instead (Note : by doing this way, you do not need to thick x32 everytime you run eclipse/flogrid/office etc from launcher) .

Any body has x64 version eclipse ? please share to me
