Unable to configure new license server
Running on Windows.....
Ok, so i installed flex license manager and the siemens one.
I configured the license service using the lmtools within the flexlm install. Configured as follows
Then before starting the service i edited the license file like this
SERVER ServerName MacAddress 1800
VENDOR alterad "C:\flexlm\alterad.exe" PORT=1801
VENDOR saltd "C:\Program Files\Siemens\License Server\saltd.exe" PORT=1802
Surely that is all that is needed?
Starting the license server gives

I did notice on that output it has the server name as the ip address - i did try and change
SERVER ServerName MacAddress 1800
to
SERVER IPAddress MacAddress 1800
But i just get the same issue
