stop / start server problem

Whenever I manually STOP the server, then select START I get this problem. The license manager will say that the server started successfully, but no one get start AutoCAD. I have to re-boot the server, then re-start the license manager.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, why I can't just "stop/start" to re-start the license manager ??

Thanks.

 

Hi,

to stop server when any licenses are borrowed you should first select "Force
Server Shutdown" checkbox (which is under Stop/Start button) and then click
Stop.
To run your server right now you need to reboot it.

Hope it helps.

The license manager will say that the server started successfully, but no
one get start AutoCAD. I have to re-boot the server, then re-start the
license manager.

re-start the license manager ??

 

Nope,
I said that you need to reboot it right now, because you stopped it
incorrectly and adskflex and lmgrd still running on your machine, when you
stop it as I described it before you'll be fine and you'll be able to launch
it again without reboot.

stop the license manager ??

 

If you're sure that nobody borrowed, you can stop server without force
shutdown.

I did just that, and the actual 'server' needed to be re-booted. If I just select 'Start', the license manager would read the license, and start succesfully. But no one could start AutoCAD.

 

So, what are you saying, that you rebooted your server, started it, but
clients can't launch AutoCAD? What error message are they getting? Can you
please send me directly your debug log file from the server.

The status saying that lmgrd is running but service didn't start correctly,
so you need to reboot your machine and then start server if you didn't set
up it to start automatically.

I have that option selected, to start automatically.
But why do I have to reboot after stopping ??

 

FLEXlm has a problem to stop sever when license is borrowed so, Macrovision
found that if "Force Server Shutdown" checkbox is checked at the stop time,
then sever will stop without any problems and if user forgot to check it
there is only one way to reboot.

I restarted the server, now SMARTreport works.
Thanks for all the help.
