Honored ContributorThank you for the replies, let me clarify a little.
My company purchased a floating license node to put on our local server (192 IP address) and we ran into problems with policy where we can't use this server to host license files. We have no other internal servers at our location. We purchased the software without entering a host id or host machine. We generated the license file for floating license using the name and NIC ID of the computer in our remote location when we activated the license, no redundant servers were entered. When we received the license the .dat file appeared as such at the beginning; "SERVER <host_name> 002219335395 <port_number> VENDOR alterad <enter path> VENDOR mgcld <enter path> USE_SERVER" No information was entered, so we edited the file with the relevant information and we stored the license on the remote server and installed the appropriate daemons; "SERVER 230954-web1 002219335395 1800 VENDOR alterad c:\flexlm\alterad.exe VENDOR mgcld c:\flexlm\mgcld.exe USE_SERVER" The host name of the server according to running ipconfig /all is 230954-web1 and we arbitrarily designated port 1800. We were able to get the service up and running on the remote machine. On local machines we cannot read this license file as the local box doesn't have information about how to connect to the remote server. So my question is, How do we need to edit the license file and configure our local machines so that we can access the floating license in its remote location? Do we replace the host name with the IP address (it's a static address)? And if so do we need to modify the altera online license information with this new host name as well? Do local machines need the lmgrd, lmtools, lmutil, installed as well? How do they need to be configured if so? Any help would be much appreciated, and if there is a document or application note explaining this please let me know as I have not been able to find one yet! Thanks
