CCS v4. Floating License Rehosting Problems

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi,

My name is Marcelino Martinez. I installed a floating license server on a computer running Linux, (Ubunto) but now I have to move this license to a new computer. I rehosted and generatee a new license file for the new computer. Due to an error I used a secondary MAC of this computer so the license file was not valid. TI does not allow to rehost to a new MAC address, so I contacted TI support and they change the MAC to the correct one. This way I can generate a new license, but following the tutorial http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/License_Server_Administration_for_CCS#UNIX:_command_line_setup I can not start the license server. (I used this manual the fist time I install the license server)

I have checked the MAC addres of the computer with ifconfig. This is the answer:


eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  direcciónHW 00:30:48:7e:9f:90 
          Direc. inet:147.156.27.176  Difus.:147.156.27.255  Másc:255.255.254.0

I have checked the license file, and it seems the MAC is OK. :

But when I check the state of the license:
 
Using ./lmutil lmstat -a
 
Flexible License Manager status on Thu 4/7/2011 00:34
 
License server status: 27000@hiperion
    License file(s) on hiperion: /opt/license_server/licenses/TMDSCCS-ALLUNVF100-v4.0.lic:
 
  hiperion: license server UP (MASTER) v11.9
 
Vendor daemon status (on hiperion):
 
  tidspssw: The desired vendor daemon is down. (-97,121)

I have reread the licence, I have starting the installation from scratch, but I always got the same results. Please could you give me any advice ?

Regards

  • Marcelino,

    What are the contents of the log files? The FlexLM Administrator's Guide does not give much more information about error -97 apart from:

    The desired vendor daemon is down.

    1) Check the lmadmin or lmgrd log file, or 2) Try lmreread.

    Also, check if your .LIC file matches the MAC Address: the following lines should be at the beginning of the file:

    License File said:

    #Please do not delete this comment line.

    SERVER this_host 0030487E9F90

    VENDOR tidspssw

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

  • I have already try what you proposed. The MAC is the same. I have also reread the license but I always have the same error.

    Thanks
