LDT 2005 Network Auth Manager missing?

OK, I'm finally installing the network version of LDT 2005 and the Network
Authorization Manager is obviously missing. Is manually authorizing through
LMtools the only way?

OK, if you say so. The network installation guide says you can use it to
automatically get the auth codes without having to email or call the
requests in. 'Guess I'll have to do it manually...

I saved this post by Greg Suppes from 5/7/04. I would have directed you to
the original thread but I can't find it anymore. I woun't be deploying 2005
untill later this month. So I don't have any first had experience with it.

________________
Each application requires its own version of the Network License
Authorization utility and the Civil Design 2005, Survey 2005 and Raster
Design 2005 products do not offer this feature.

The Land Desktop 2005 product does offer the feature however. You can
install the Network License Auth utility for LDT 2005, by inserting the CD
and going to the "Network Deployment" of the initial install browser screen
that comes up. There you will find the link to install the Network License
Auth utility.

Nope! That's the problem - the Network License Auth Utility is missing from
the LDT 2005 Network Deployment install routines...

Maybe that's why I couldn't find the original post. I could have been pulled
to avoid confusion.

I'm so sorry, I completely missed the point. :-$

On a side note, why not let your reseller handle it for you? When we buy new
seats or get our VIP, our reseller is usually about a day behind in sending
me a new.lic file. I find it quite nice. They keep my server name and MAC on
their file, and I get a no hassle update. Just a thought.

I ended up calling authcodes and they emailed me the license files right
away, though they messed up a set for one of our locations - they typed in
the server name incorrectly, and it took me a while to track that down,
(they used an O instead of 0).
