CCSv4 license server Lmadmin tidspssw error

Goson Gu

Hi,

I am trying to set up a CCSv4 floating license server.  The server is a Windows XP 32-bit virtual machine.

I downloaded Lmadmin version 11.8 from Flexera.  I configured Lmadmin as a service during installation.

I downloaded "tidspssw.exe" and "tidspssw.exe.manifest", and placed both files in the following directory of the server:

   C:\Program Files\FLEXnet Publisher License Server Manager

I placed my license file in the same directory of the server.

I logged into Lmadmin as an administrator and did Import License, which was successful.

I then started vendor daemon: tidspssw, but this did not work.  The following shows the error message in log file "tidspssw.log":

12:08:43 (tidspssw) Server started on z-eng-ed-flexlm for: CCS_LINKER_FULL
12:08:43 (tidspssw) CCS_ISA_ALL CCS_DEBUGGER CCS_CONNECTION_ALL
12:08:43 (tidspssw) EXTERNAL FILTERS are OFF
12:08:43 (tidspssw) Vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd (Invalid returned data from license server system. (-12,16))
12:08:43 (tidspssw) EXITING DUE TO SIGNAL 28 Exit reason 5

Apparently tidspssw was trying to talk to Lmgrd, which does not exit in the server. 

Because I am using Lmadmin, not Lmgrd, the error message does not make sense to me.

Can anyone help on this? 

Thanks,

Goson Gu

    Goson,

    You need to download all of "lmadmin, lmgrd and lmtools executables".  Lmadmin is just a different user interface for lmgrd and thus you still need lmgrd.

    Regards,

    John

     

    Requirements

    • License Administration Guide
    • License Server Machine. Currently we support Windows, Solaris (Sparc) and Red Hat Linux (See License Administration Guide Chapter 8 "Selecting a License Server Machine") lmadmin, lmgrd and lmtools executables (downloaded from Flexera) for either Solaris (Sparc), Red Hat Linux or Microsoft Windows
    • Texas Instruments’ vendor daemon (tidspssw)
    • Floating License File for Code Composer Studio
    • Windows: if the license server is a Windows machine you need to have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package installed. You can download it here. It is also installed by CCS.

    John,

    I am confused about lmadmin versus lmgrd.  I thought we only need to run either lmadmin or imgrd, but not both at the same time.

    When I installed lmadmin, I configured it as a system service and selected "Start server now".  So lmadmin has been running in the server.

    Now I have downloaded lmgrd and lmtools.  Should I run lmgrd, while keeping lmadmin running?

    Is there a document that specifies the procedure to install and run lmadmin, lmgrd, and lmtools (i.e., which program should be run first)?

    I found that License Administration Guide is not clear about this procedure.

    Thanks,

    Goson

    John,

    I killed lmadmin process in the server, and used lmtools to start lmgrd.  Now it works.

    I will keep using lmgrd, but not lmadmin.

    My problem is solved.

    Thanks for the help!
