Hi,
i recently reinstalled FDS PRM eng as I did install it as single user before by mistake.
I only installed 3DS for now as this is my main application.
It is installed on Windows 8 Pro 64Bit.
All software is installed on the same machine- license manager and 3DS.
I'm owning a german NLM but was told that I could use it with the english version as well.
So far so good- I installed LMTools and followed an instruction to generate the LIC file.
When starting 3DS a window pops up asking for license server name / license file location.
Server name ist not found and after directing to the file's location I get the "cannot obtain license" error [-15.570.0] and "software license check out failed error 20".
I tried Travis' solution changing the hosts file and disabling IPV6- without success.
I tried shutting down the third-party firewall and adding a TCP port exception range 2000-27009 in windows firewall...
Pinging my PC's name works fine (no surprise 😉 but therefor the name in the lic file is correct)
So one reason could be it's just not accepting my license (but then the error would probably different) or there's a connection error somehow somewhere..
So far I got nowhere yet- and any help is greatly appreciated.. 😉
