Borrowed License not found

Okay: 1. ADT2005, laptop connected to network, 45 user FlexLM, blah, blah, blah 2. Run Borrowlicense command inside of ADT2005 WHILE connected to network 3. Set date (1 week) 4. Says license borrowed okay 5. Restart laptop off of network 6. Restart ADT2005 7. Message - no license found, please specify file or server HUH? What didn't this work. Where is the license file on the laptop and why isn't it found. The only .lic file is in the C:\Program Files\Architectural Desktop 2005 folder called LICPATH.LIC, and that is not acceptable, and no relevant .dat files. Now what? This is the contents of the lic file, btw: SERVER GRANARYDC01 000347af4321 USE_SERVER SERVER GRANARYDC01 000347af4321 USE_SERVER SERVER GRANARYDC01 000347af4321 USE_SERVER SERVER GRANARYDC01 000347af4321 USE_SERVER -- Regards, --------------- Reid M.

Borrowed licenses are bound to the user, machine and network adapter. So, if you did not log in as the same user or your network adapter was removed when you disconnected from the network then your borrowed license is not available. -- Jerry Milana, Autodesk Consulting "Reid M.

MY BAD!!! What do I know from domains? Anyway, the laptop has two domains - one called granaryassoc, and another, like LL45-Laptop. I thought when you were off the network you should change the domain. BUT, if you leave it as granaryassoc, even though the login scripting routines don't work, the borrow license file does! Sorry about that! -- Regards, --------------- Reid M.

Connect to your laptop to your domain even if your are off your network. This works! And launch your ADT2005. F Hervet "Reid M.

Make sure the user (or you) are not disabling the network adapter when the laptop is of the Network (some people do that so they don't get the little message saying network not found or something). Anyway, If you disable the card from where the license was bound to, AutoCAD will not "see" the borrowed license as if it were never borrowed, returning the error message you described.. Basically, leave the Network adapters enabled. Good luck, Sam "Reid M.
