Flexlm License Server Connection Timeout |
|
|
We have 12 licenses on 2 license servers on our network. One is a
fixed server sharing out 11 licenses and the other is a laptop with
the remaining license. We have this arrangement so that the laptop
can be taken off site (off the network) and still run Pro/E and
Intralink, and when the laptop is connected to the network, its
license is available to all client PC's
We have both basic and advanced licenses on the fixed and an advanced
license on the laptop. The client PC's are configured to find the
advanced licenses on the fixed server and laptop first and then the
basic licenses.
My problem is, when the laptop is not on the network, obtaining a
license takes 3-5 minutes when all advanced licenses are taken from
the fixed server. This is because the client PC/application is
looking for the laptop server and takes a long time to timeout. After
whihch it gets a basic license from the fixed server.
Is anyone aware of an environment variable or setting that sets the
max length of time the client PC/application can take to find a
license server?
Thanks in anticipation,
Martin

I was just talking with my companies Cad Admin and he has been in
negotiations with PTC over maintenance. I had him ask about how to do
presentations off the network. Apparently there is a new license management
server that would allow you to have one license server, but have the ability
to check license out and lock them to a different computer, like a laptop
and take them off the network. When you return to the office you can check
it back in. I don't know what it is called, but I will be looking into it
over the next few months.
I know that this is not exactly what you asked, but it is a solution.
hope it helps,
John Morrison

In Wildfire2 you are able to check out a license from the server, this
is a much better solution than operating with two license-servers.
