Can't Get a Report Log

I've followed the documentation, articles in the knowledge base, and advice here in the discussion groups; and still can't get flexlm to generate a report log. What am I doing wrong?

I am using flexlm version 7 on a Windows 2000 server. My adskflex.opt file is in the same folder as my license file and reads as follows:

REPORTLOG +e:\apps\autodesk\license\log\autodesk.rl

The vendor/daemon line in my license file looks as follows:

VENDOR adskflex port=2080

I have restarted the flexlm service using the lmtools.
E:\ is a local drive on the server.

According to the documentation, I should not have to specify an "options=..." in my license file since I am on version 7, though I did try it and it didn't work either.

Can someone help me?

Hi,

 

The first thing to do is look in your debug log
file and see if the options file is being read.  You should see a line like

9:35:54 (adskflex) Using options file: "
face="Times New Roman"
size=3>e:\apps\autodesk\license
\adskflex.opt"

 

If you don't see the above, look for a typo in the
options file filename.  If the filename is good, double check your
afskflex service definition for the path to your license file. 

 

Be aware that the options file syntax is case
sensitive.  Make sure that the keyword REPORTLOG in upper
case.

Hi!

I have no idea why you aren't getting a file!!!??? See my notation in the
opt-file!
The only thing I see different is the cappslock thing.... and name of
file... Try changing the name... shouln't matter though...

Petri

Also check how your directorynames are (capslock - no capslock.....)

It is not creating a debug log. I checked the path for the debug log and there is nothing wrong with it.

I can't seem to find anything wrong. Everything seems to be correct.

I just restarted my server and now I am not getting any licenses. I think I may reinstall the flexlm.

What makes you think that the license manager is
running at all?  If you are not creating so much as a log file then I doubt
it is running.  Did you check Task Manager?  In any case, I doubt
reinstalling will help.  Instead, try deleting the service you setup for
the adskflex daemon and recreate it.

I think my systems manager has some explaining to do. The permissions on the local E:\ drive changed somehow so flexlm couldn't access it. I put everything on the local C:\ drive and it all works fine.

Glad you got it running and thanks for letting us
know!
