Windows7-64Bit problem in running multiple NX releases
Windows7-64Bit problem in running multiple NX releases
(OP)
I recently changed my op system from XP-64 Pro to Win7-64 Bit Home Premium ...
In my old system I used to have NX4, NX5 and NX7 , operating perfectly.
Since Win7 installation urges a clean start, I did re-download NX4 , NX5 and NX7.5 ...
My observations :
- No hope for NX4 , ugs_licensing routine fails ..
- NX5 (64Bit) runs ok , if it is the only release downloaded ..
- NX7.5 (64 bit) same as above
- If you download nx5 AND nx7.5 only nx7.5 works .. nx5 terminates with the message :"unknown license error". To overcome this problem you need to install license manager of nx5 again , but this time NX7.5 fails !
My assumption is that Windows-7 , 64Bit , Home Premium is preventing running multiple NX releases for a strange reason. These combined versions were running under Win XP 64Bit Pro ...
Any suggestions ?

RE: Windows7-64Bit problem in running multiple NX releases
1. Copy all NX4 license server setup files to local hard disk.
2. delete lmgrd.exe from that copy
3. copy lmgrd.exe from the NX7.5, NX7, NX6 or NX5 flexlm install in to the local setup of the NX4 from above
4. select lmgrd.exe and goto properties using MB3.
5. check the run with Administrator privilege button.
6. Run the setup using your local copy files.
For NX5 & NX7.5, install only the NX7.5 license service with a NX7.5 license file. Then when you can install NX5 and NX7.5 and when it prompts for a license, make sure the entry is 28000@licenseserver
Win7 home premium isn't supported but that doesn't mean it won't run. GTAC won't help you to make it work.
