Foundation 2.1: LMACS Errors when attempting to open a new project


Record #7417

Problem Title:
Foundation 2.1: LMACS Errors when attempting to open a new project


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

This problem seems to frequently occur at universities running an NT server.
They set up a floating license, install the software and try to open a project. They get the following sort of errors:
Lmacs: The Record Manager or Requester is inactive
Lmacs: The Record Manager or Requester is inactive - C:\TEMP\PROJ\LIBPROJ1.DIR
Pcm : Cannot create working library c:\temp\proj1\lib\proj1.

They also find that when they log on as an administrator, everything seems to
work fine.


Solution 1:

The following four changes seem to fix the problem:

1) Give permission to write in the file:
    c:\winnt\bti.ini => write permission
    and change the line:
    "trnfile = C:\WINDOWS" to "trnfile = C:\TEMP"

2) Give permission to write in the file:
    c:\winnt\aldec.ini =. write permission
    and change the line:
    "PROJECTS=C:\FNDTN\ACTIVE\PROJECTS\" to "PROJECTS=c:\temp"

3) Give permission to write in the files:
    c:\winnt\Mkdemsg.log => write permission
    c:\winnt\Mkdewe.trn => write permission

4) Give permission to write in the directory:
    c:\fndtn
    c:\fndtn\active and all subdirectories of active.
