    hello everyone,
    I have a problem and hope somebody can help me. Our server computer is
    shutdown because of electric faulty. Then after that, all the client
    computer can get license from the server computer. Only server computer
    has the license and the other computer can not archieve it. So , how to
    set up again to make the client get it own license again. thank for
    read my message

    Bring up the server machine. Then try running ...

    lmgrd -c <licenseFile.txt>


    The above command would bring-up all the licenses for use. "lmgrd"
    would be available in <toolsInstallDir>/bin directory. Hope this helps.

  4. You cannot do anything until your license server becomes available.
    Floating licenses like you have are locked to one specific server
    machine. You cannot serve them from any other machine. This prevents
    people from running multiple license servers with the same licenses,
    effectively increasing their license count.

  5. Hi,

    The information you give is not clear at all. If you have a linux
    machine please post the following:

    output of the commands
    ps axuwww|grep lmgrd
    ps axuwww|grep cdsld

    Log of the license server. Either copy and paste from the standard
    output or from the file you are redirecting it to (either through
    redirection or command line switch).

    Output of

    lmstat -c <license file>

    from both the server and the client machines. If the client machine
    can not "see" the file through the NFS file system you will have to use
    lmstat -c port@server where port can be found in the log file and server
    is the license server.

    With this can diagnose 99% of the problems. Make sure that firewall
    and friends actually allow the client to get licenses and that the
    cadence software that you are using is compatible with the cadence
    licenses that you have.

    Good luck,
    Stefano
