Hello,  

we using a floating network-licence on a Win2k8Server. The Flexlm works fine with our licence. But we can´t connect QuartusII Software, installed on workstation(WinXP), to our licenceserver. 

FYI: 

Host:server 

Port:27000 

Path: C:\FlexLM\licence.dat 

 

Which is the right command to put in the box "Licence File:"? 

eg. from altera readme: "@server:27000@C:\FlexLM\licence.dat

 

Cheers Tim

we have inside this box the complete path where the used Licence.dat is stored on the server. f.e. "Q:\Altera\Licence.dat"  

 

inside the Licence.dat the first 4 lines : 

SERVER MyServerName *MyNICID_MAC* 1800 

VENDOR alterad C:\FlexLM\alterad.exe 

VENDOR mgcld C:\FlexLM\mgcld.exe 

USE_SERVER 

 

FlexLM is stored as you can see on Drive C of the Server and executed there. 

Have you tried the lmutil lmdiag to check the connection between you pc and the server that holds the licence ?

on your client you'll want to put 27000@server in the license file or LM_LICENSE_FILE variable.

Here are our first four lines: 

SERVER server XXXXXXMACXXX 27000 

VENDOR alterad \flexlm\alterad.exe 

VENDOR mgcld \flexlm\mgcld.exe 

USE_SERVER 

 

This sting is in our Licence file box: 

@server:27000@C:\FlexLM\licence.dat 

 

But in my opinion the command in the Licence file box isn´t correct. 

Do some body know the right command? 

 

Where could i download "lmutil lmdiag" to check the status? I can only find lmutil.exe in a folder, but this programm doesn´t show any status. 

 

Thanks for your response

:mad: Warning: Can't contact license server "27000@server" -- this server will be ignored 

 

Does somebody know which ports are used for communication?

works fine... 

 

Reason: Firewallsettings on Win2k8! 

 

Thanks for help.
