How to debug licensing problems
What licensing mechanism is used for your problematic software?
A lot of software you can order via IDES use a network licensing mechanism. That means that a client that wants to use some software first needs to ask the license server if there is a free license available. There are several software implementations for network licensing. The most prominent one is FLEXnet. If you ordered a license via IDES and the license email from IDES states that you have to enter some port and license server information during installation, the licensing system used is probably FLEXnet. An example is MATLAB.
FLEXnet license debugging
What you need:
port and name of license server
the lmutil command line tool
Port and license server name
You will find these information in the email you got from IDES after ordering the software. If you did not order the software by yourself (e.g. if you work on a machine not managed by you), you might find that information
- through a menu entry of the application
- in the installation folder of the software
- in the registry (if you are running a Microsoft product)
- in an environment variable
FLEXnet lmutil command line tool
You have several possibilities to use that tool.
- Log in to one of our managed Linux clients and use the one already installed there.
- Install it by yourself. You do not need to have administrator rights for this.
Installation of lmutil on Windows
Go to http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm
Download the lmutil ZIP file for your plattform.
- Extract it.
Open a cmd prompt (Click on "Start" > "Run", enter "cmd" and click "OK")
- Run lmutil. E.g. enter "c:\lmutil_i86_n3\lmutil.exe"
Installation of lmutil on Linux
Go to http://www.globes.com/support/fnp_utilities_download.htm
Download the lmutil tar.gz file for your plattform.
- Extract it. E.g. `tar -xvvzkf lmutil_i86_re3.tar.gz'.
Make it executable: chmod u+x lmutil
Run lmutil: ./lmutil
Usage of lmutil
If you run lmutil help it will print out a list of options. If you want to know the details of the lmstat option, just run lmutil lmstat help. Here are some examples (just replace PORT and SERVER with the corresponding information for your software):
- lmutil lmstat -c PORT@SERVER -a
- lmutil lmstat -c PORT@SERVER -i
- lmutil lmstat -c PORT@SERVER -f
- lmutil lmdiag -c PORT@SERVER -n
