renewed Quartus floating licenses causing error in LMtools
I recently received new licenses for Quartus and added them to my existing license file (which also has keys for PADSVX) and I received the error
This license cannot be checked out because:
No such feature exists.
FlexNet Licensing error:-5,147
....for all Quartus licenses.
This was working fine with the older licenses AND I updated the lmtools, lmutil, lmgrid, alterad and mgcld files to the newer version I found on the Intel website which was 11.16.2 for all components except mgcld, which was 11.16.4.
Now most of the PADSVX licenses seem to work fine, but there are a couple lines that seems to throw this error too. I'm not sure if that was the case prior to me updating lmtools and the other files or not, but it's only select line items for that program and not everything like it is for Quartus.
For troubleshooting sake, I tried with a clean license file that only had Quartus licenses and received the same results.
I did some Googling and came across a thread that sounded a lot like my issue here:
but the problem is that solution ended up being a rule within the windows firewall, however in my case it appears my predecessor had already completely turned off the windows firewall on this server and yet this problem persists,
I'm uncertain what to try next and need to get these license working ASAP.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
