2000i to 2005 on netware |
|
|
We are running the license manager on a NW5.1 box, we just got our
upgrade to 2005. It seems netware is no longer supported, i guess in
favor of less stable os'. Would it be possible to say , create the
licensing keys, etc. on a windows box, then move them over to our novell
box and use the license manager? Is autodesk in bed with microsoft?

Only Windows OS's are supported for the Autodesk vendor daemon; TCP/IP is
another requirement. OS support is driven by customer demand.
Now, the license manager doesn't use much bandwidth or resources, so it's
fine to run it on one of your workstations.

Well that's nifty. My servers run 24/7/365, my work stations don't. |
Argh, I wish the head of the engineering dept. sorted this out before
buying it and handing it to me. He said, "well it worked on netware
before." I might have him return it and buy indvidual single-user
copies. Thanks for your input.

Hey Guys,
Actually what changed here is the license manager. With AutoCAD 2000i you
are using Elan license manager. Elan has been gone for some time now so we
had to change to a newer license manager. We went with FLEX as it was used
by a lot of our customer base. When we first started working this out with
Globetrotter we were told they had NLM support. But in reality they had
already dropped it. Novell license manager support went away when we moved
to the new license manager.
Now if you have any TCP/IP stations you can use that to run FLEX. Also
Novell has even moved to TCP/IP. Both my 5x and 6x Novell servers in the
LAB run TCP/IP at this time. So at some point your going to need to make
the change.
Hope this helps explain why there is no Novell NLM for FLEX.
Thanks for posting to the News Groups.

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for. Now i have my ammo for
when I talk to the department managers. As for our Netware servers, yes
they all run TCP/IP. But the Elan nlm is ipx only, so now i see the issue.
Thanks again guys |
