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:

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.

 

Okay, I'm controlling using words that I will regret later....(deep breath)
THEN HOW THE HECK CAN MY USER RUN THIS PRODUCT AT HOME OFF THE
NETWORK!!!!!!!
(Sorry, I had to shout...feeling better now, though I still need the answer)

VPN to the network, then pull as normal from the license server?

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!

Connect to your laptop to your domain even if your are off your network.
This works!
And launch your ADT2005.

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

 

Sounds like you solved the problem anyway.... well then use the info I just
mentioned for future reference....

 

Say does the laptop dispable the network card when power is off the battry?
Mine does and will not run AutoCAD unless I set to to stay on.....
