Flex LM licensing issue on installation

Flex LM licensing issue on installation

Flex LM licensing issue on installation

(OP)
Installing Pro Engineer 2001 seems to go fine with no errors but upon execution of program I get a (-14)Warning stating unable to find license server, and suggesting I substitue the IP address of the box instead of the host ID name. THis is a W2K Pro station. The license IS a "floating license", but only want Pro E on this one box. We do not want a license server located on another box on the network. The MAC address correctly corressponds to the license file. The FLEXLM service is reported as STARTED but upon opening the program the service STOPS.

ANy help would be appreciated!

THanks

RE: Flex LM licensing issue on installation

Have PTC issue a new license file which is standard for one machine which will eliminate the need for a flex/lm.

RE: Flex LM licensing issue on installation

Even on a standalone installation, PTC now use FlexLM. We have some laptops with their own indivual licenses, all running FlexLM.

Does your machine have 2 NIC cards or network connections? PTC's software could be reading the NIC address of the second card. This happened to me when I installed it on a server. Do an ipconfig/all and see how many NIC addresses you have.

"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.
