Error message 1.5-4

[Anonymous]

Hi List

I have a 10 license flexlm server for Autocad Map 2004 series. Until recently everything was working fine, but all of a sudden one of the client pcs failed to load Autocad with a 1.5-4 error. The help guide tells me this means all of my licenses are used up, but the license manager tells me they are not, and other machines can load the software. I have restarted the license server and the client machine to no avail. I have also reinstalled the software, and the debug log says it was installed/deployed correctly.

One thing that I am worried about is that originally this machine was on a different network, and getting its license from a different license server. Is it possible that it is still trying to get its license from the old server despite the software being reinstalled from a deployment designed to point at the new server? I am unsure how to check exactly where it is trying to get the license from.

Thanks for your help

There are a few places it may be looking to determine from where it
should pull the license.

Thanks,

Renaming the license file fixed the problem.
