Questions About LMTools Autocad 2013

[antonio.trindade]

Hello!

I have one question abou our network configuration

we have one server that is working LMTools without problems, now we bought another server and want to configure the AutoCad 2013 License to work with that, we already had configure LMTools and the test's was that is all in UP status, as above i show

"

SERVER: license server UP (MASTER) v11.10

Vendor daemon status (on TSERVER):

  adskflex: UP v11.10 Feature usage info:

"

Allready had install on Client pc with AutoCad 2013 with the key of Autocad, with option "Network", but when we trie to open the autocad 2013, give's one message telling that "could not find any valid license" i do not know why,

I Allready tried to Stop LMTools on the other server and try the connection but same problem, the only test that we can do to is to close AutoCad 2011 clients  and stop de LMTOOLS on the old Server and Tried again with the new server!

I have no more Ideias to configure this and put this working, can anyone Help Me?

Best Regards.

I made this configuration in Server and in the Client but with the same problem.... 😞

[DarrenP]

can you post screen shots of the error message?

[antonio.trindade]

It's in Portuguese

but her it is

[DarrenP]

a -15 error is Cannot connect to license server system.
The server (lmgrd) has not been started yet, or the wrong port@host or license file is
being used, or the TCP/IP port or host name in the license file has been changed.

check your license file and see if the information in is correct especially the server name and mac address

[antonio.trindade]

before he give's me the error of the server and after a put the name of the server but nothing.

[TravisNave]

The -15 error is almost exclusively firewall blocking ports 2080 and 27000 and/or the client trying to connect to the server via IPv6 instead of IPv4.

For more information about Network License Manager connectivity issues and IPv6, please see my discussion post here:

Can I Change the Port Name?, the other server is still working, but i want to disconnect the old server only when this is working

[TravisNave]

It is not necessary.  Just make a firewall exception for all four .exe files and 2080 and 27000 if needed.  Make sure you can PING the server from the client and get an IPv4 address.

I Do Not have that port blocked in Firewall couse the other server is runing with this port, and maybe is because of that, i think, i think because when in the other server a Stop de Server the user's are still working because they allready opened the autocad 2011 prev.

But i want to put this server working before shut down the other, that why i need o put both server working at the same time.

Both are indenpended....

[antonio.trindade]

And I'm Using IPV4

Do I Need to Close all autocad 2011 Client's Before do this? can i put both server working....

only to uninstall after the 2011 version and install 2013?

[TravisNave]

Are you trying to run two license managers on one server?  Or are these two different servers?

[antonio.trindade]

Two Different Server

One that have Windows Server 2003 and a new one that have Windows server 2008 R2

both with different licenses

[TravisNave]

Server 2008 R2 sometimes has issues running the NLM.  Make sure your status enquiry from LMTOOLS server status tab shows that the NLM is running and has available licenses.  Both adskflex.exe and lmgrd.exe should be listed as processes under Task Manager if it is running.

I Have this in Status on LMTools, i think is everything ok...

[TravisNave]

Open up Internet Explorer (not another 3rd party browser) on the client an type:

http://server:27000

http://server:2080

and let me know what you get. 

[antonio.trindade]

Only appears IIS page on port 80 not with 2700 and 2080,

http:\\server:80

[TravisNave]

The above links on ports 2080 and 27000 in IE should result in a page with this:

Wê-60Wê-60Wê-60Wê-60Wê-60Wê-60

If it does not, or you get a 'page cannot be displayed' then your firewall is blocking those ports. 

[antonio.trindade]

🙂 Ok I see the firewall on server, and open those port, from some how i thought that was open, tried one more time and working like a charme

Best Regards.

And thank you for explanation
