titleHow to release a hanging license to the pool?

There are several methods how to release license:

1. There is a way to configure the license manager to automatically reclaim inactive licenses by creating the options file with specified TIMEOUT feature. Default TIMEOUT feature has a minimum license release time of 900 seconds, which means your license will not be checked back into the pool before 15 minutes of inactivity has elapsed. License Administration Guide with the instructions how to create an options file is available at https://docs.nomagic.com/display/NMDOC/FlexNet+license+server+installation+and+licensing?preview=/62891142/62891197/fnp_LicAdmin_11_17_0.pdf

2. Restart the license server itself. First stop the server from the Administration section of the license server management interface. Follow the link http://:8080 to connect to licenses server interface. Please note that stopping server shut downs and all vendor daemons. Active users will be notified and reconnect to license server would be needed. Start license server manually. On Windows platforms, open the installation directory in Windows Explorer and then double-click the lmadmin.exe file. Or run the lmadmin command with your desired command-line arguments on Unix platforms.

3. In order to release a hung license to the pool of free licenses please use lmremove command-line argument. Note that lmadmin's default setting disables the operation of lmremove, to enable it start lmadmin with the - allowLicenseReclaim argument. License Administration Guide with the instructions how to combine command line arguments is available at https://docs.nomagic.com/display/NMDOC/FlexNet+license+server+installation+and+licensing?preview=/62891142/62891197/fnp_LicAdmin_11_17_0.pdf

titleI'm trying to run the two license servers and vendor daemons on same machine to restrict who gets access to which licenses. How can I do this?

You can not run two same vendor daemon instances and license servers on the same machine. Being able to do so, would enable users to double the number of licenses.

In order to set restrictions without starting two license servers, please configure the options file. Options file - a configuration file available on the license server, which license administrators can use to allow / deny / reserve products to be used by specific users, hosts, and groups.

Instructions how to create and manage the options file for license server is described in the Flexnet License Administration Guide at https://docs.nomagic.com/display/NMDOC/FlexNet+license+server+installation+and+licensing?preview=/62891142/62891197/fnp_LicAdmin_11_17_0.pdf

title[To Be Reviewed]On new key application into FLEXnet licenses server lmadmin error appears – "Inconsistent server host name in: licenses\cameo\…

This error appears if key with different hostid is added into server. Server memorizes host added with first key and does not accept another one, if different host is used in second key. This is known issue which fix is planed with new version of lmadmin.

Please reinstall Lmadmin before applying key with different hostid. This will allow voiding this issue.

titleI have firewall blocking the connection to the FLEXnet license server. What ports are used?

By default 1101 and 27000-27009 ports are used. Range of ports 27000-27009 can be changed to any single port. One port is enough but it must be specified explicitly in lmadmin configuration.

title[To Be Reviewed]I got error "File not found, cameo.exe" what to do?

As the log says, "File not found, cameo.exe". So the lmadmin cannot find the daemon. There are two reasons / solutions:

- Maybe you have put the daemon cameo.exe in another folder.

Add the Vendor daemon into the installed server. If you are using lmadmin, create licenses/cameo directories under and place the Vendor daemon file cameo.exe under ..../ /licenses/cameo.

- Maybe you do not have this file, then you can download the Vendor daemon - cameo.exe for your OS from https://secure.nomagic.com/show_content/download/?content=vendor_daemon_download
