The vendor deamon is the process that communicates between the UG code and the license management code. Did you install the FlexLM/FlexNet SW and the license file supplied by UGS?

"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

After that, run LMTools (Start -> Programs -> Unigraphics NX3 -> FlexLM Tools -> lmtools). Under the Services/License File tab, set the Server List to Configuration using Services (the lower tick box) and you should see Unigraphics License Server (uglmd) in the white box. Next, click on the Config Services tab and next to the Services Name it should read Unigraphics License Server (uglmd) in the pulldown. If not, use the pulldown & select it. Next, set the 3 paths below the pulldown. The default location for lmgrd.exe is C:\Program Files\UGS\License Servers\UGNXFLEXlm\lmgrd.exe. My path for the license file is C:\Program Files\UGS\License Servers\UGNXFLEXlm\ugnx3.lic. The default path to the debug log file is C:\Program Files\UGS\License Servers\UGNXFLEXlm\ugflexlm.log. Make sure the bottom two check boxes are checked ON and then press Save Service in the upper right.
Finally, go to the Start/Stop/Reread tab. Click Start Server, just to be sure the license server is running. Then press ReRead License File and see if you get any errors.
Before starting NX, it would probably be a good idea to see that your bundles are selected, so go to Start -> Programs -> Unigraphics NX3 -> FlexLM Tools -> License Options and make SURE your bundle is listed on the RIGHT side of the dialog under Selected Bundles. If it isn't, highlight the bundle name, then click the ADD button.
Now see if NX will fire up. If not, then call GTAC and have them walk you through the install. I did this off the top of my head, so if I left anything out, my apologies & hopefully someone will catch it if they read my response.

Unfortunately, when I get this all done n I go do my server status enquiry im gettin a horrible message telling me,
(Error: 1 licenses, unsupported by license server)
horrible!!
Ima guessin' there's somethin wrong with my license file, its tellin me my server and it doesn't match anywhere in lmTools.
O licenses, cant live with 'em, can't kill without 'em.
Catch-22!!

Gunman brought up a good point, which I left out. In your license file (ugnx3.lic), you will want to edit the SERVER name. I think by default, it's labelled as 'SERVER YOUR_HOST ...' or something to that effect, and you will want to replace YOUR_HOST with whatever the computer's name that is hosting the license.
If all else fails, call UGS as Ben suggested. They can/will walk you through complete installation.

Not all NX licenses are that way. Some are node locked (mac address, as you mentioned) while others are tied to a dongle rather than the mac address. I'm not sure how UGS handles floating licenses....probably the same way, only using the mac address or dongle on the server.
If your license is for a dongle, you should see UG_HWKEY_ID in your license file, immediately following the SERVER entry. I can't remember what the exact wording is when your license is node locked.

There are supposedly license borrowing options in FlexLM that allow you to borrow a license for a given amount of time, but I am unfamiliar with those options as well.
Would be nice if the original poster would let us know if the issue is solved or not ;o)

Shoulda got back to ye, had to go home for Christmas and a house with no internet is a very good way of relaxing.
I've been in contact with the good CAD tech people and my license has got UG_HWKEY_ID straight after the server name. CAD tech people have opened shop again today so they're gonna help me through it.
As soon as its up n runnin I'll try n get all the details as to what went barmy and put it up here.
Thank you guys for the help, wouldn't have been able to describe to CAD techs if it weren't for ye
RE: cant install UG
this may aggrivate you guys, but it amuses me quite a bit.
Tim, in his first reply mentioned a dongle. I had no dongle then, or SO IT SEEMED. (eep)
I got a new workstation sent you see and a new keyboard ... and they put, or "hid", the dongle under some red tape on the underside of the keyboard.
Sorry guys, I couldn't get in touch with the CAD tech people over christmas, but the solution really couldn't have been simpler.
Thank you for the help though, if anyone else ever has a problem concerning licenses this thread should be a massive help in understanding any problems

As to the registry keys, those are for NX1. Each version of UG loaded on your machine would have a set of registry entries under new version numbers, 190, 200, 210, etc.
