"Cannot read options file" |
|
|
i get the above error when re-reading the license. Can't figure out why.
The file is named properly (adskflex.opt), is in the same directory as the license file, is not read only, has the correct syntax in it.
Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks

It seems that I wasn't grabbing the right file version I posted earlier.
It's hard to remember what the errors were exactly as I worked this out, but
the proper reference to the options file in the license file may be your
problem.
My reference to the options file (options=adskflex.opt) in the license file
is constructed as follows:
VENDOR adskflex port=2080 options=adskflex.opt
INCREMENT 46300ACD_2005_0F adskflex 1.000 permanent .... \
Then my options file actually looks like this:
GROUP ACADBORROW rhenley
INCLUDE_BORROW 46300ACD_2005_0F GROUP ACADBORROW
BORROW_LOWWATER 46300ACD_2005_0F 2
MAX_BORROW_HOURS 46300ACD_2005_0F 720
TIMEOUT 46300ACD_2005_0F 5400

Thanks Richard. I had the wrong error message posted. It should've read
"Cannot OPEN options file".
I discovered the problem: When I created the file, file extensions were
turned off. So I had a *.lic.txt file.FlexLM couldn't open this. Once I
found the problem, I changed the extension. Problem was, FlexLM was still
seeing it as a txt file. Finally, I took the file out of the folder,
stopped/started the license; put it back in, stopped/started the license and
it finally worked. I didn't have to add a reference to the license file.
What version of FlexLM are you using?

Richard,
As long as you are naming the options file adskflex.opt and it is in the
same folder as the license file then you do not need an options parameter in
the license file. Remove that parameter and see if it works.

Flex LM v9.22
Well I'm sure I had that situation at one point, with no reference to the
OPT in the LIC file.
I must have added the options reference because I had that syntax error in
the options file, and couldn't understand why it wasn't working.
I mean this is not all that difficult. It's only a set of text files if you
have them right.
