Installation & Licensing

[#1]

Hi there,

We're in the midst of trying to upgrade our AutoCAD R14 to AutoCAD 2000 as
well as add our LDD and AutoCAD 2000i licences. We've successfully added the
licences via the 'Winadmin.exe' and can see all of the expected feature codes
and quantities. The problem arises trying to access the ADLM from the client
install of any of the updates (R14 still works fine). If I use the
'Winquery.exe', I can only get information on the '140' feature code. Any
querys on the other feature codes give a 'NO KEY' response. Thus I can see
with 'Winadmin' but not with 'Winquery'??? We're on a Novell network running
the IPX version of ADLM and NT4 workstations.

Thanx in advance....

Did you stop the ADLM service and restart it after entering your new auth
codes?

Skip,

Thanx for your reply...Unfortunately the network manager that performed the
update is not in today, so I cannot confirm. We will try an unload and
reload of the ADLM 'After Hours' today.

We unloaded and loaded the ADSKELMD.NLM but it made no difference...
I can see the 140, 150, 152, 153, 160, etc in the 'Winadmin.exe', but only
have 140 available in the 'Winquery.exe'. I've examined the log file after
the reload and found that all the new keys are 'Hostcode corrupt'...Looks
like I've found the problem.

Hi Anthony

You can see all the other keys only when the client starts to use autocad(of
150,152 etc.) in Winquery.exe. Does it show the Server as Active? when you
click the "Clients" and if your clients have envoked the 150,152 etc autocad
then you will see those.

Make sure that when you type in the name of your server in AdLM Admin to
"add server" that you enter it in proper case. For Na Netware AdLM server
the system name should be entered in UPPER CASE. Entering the name in the
wrong case will generate a server code but the resulting authorization code
will produce a license file that will fail authentication.
