Product Part: lmgrd
Problem Title:
M1.4 License: lmutil lmhostid returns hostid of all zeros
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
M1.3 (Flex v5.0) Lmgrd returns correct hostid but M1.4 (Flex v5.12) returns all zeros. In FLEXlm v5.
12, changes were made to NOT report modem connections to ISP providers, etc., as ethernet addresses.
A side effect of this that some previously recognized ethernet addresses aren't recognized.
'%XILINX%\bin\nt\lmutil lmhostid -ether' within Windows returns:
lmutil.exe - Copyright (C) 1989-1997 Globetrotter Software, Inc.
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is "000000000000"
Solution 1:
Node-lock the license file to the
C: drive serial number instead of the ethernet address.
Solution 2:
This resolution was taken from the Globetrotter FAQ on their
Web page at http://www.globetrotter.com/faqch1.htm#Q1 , and is for
those using WinNT:
The `NWLink IPX/SPX' network driver must be installed. To do this:
Put the NT system disk in the CDROM drive.
Select `Main'
Select `Control Panel'
Select `Network'
Select `Add'
And add the NWLink IPX SPX driver.
Solution 3:
Generate a new license file to the new hostid of all zeros.
