Cant get License

Hi there,

i received a new license file from your sales team.

I had loaded the license file into my flexlm manager.

now i got the following error:

[code]8:24:13 (lmgrd) License file(s): C:\FLEXnet\thinkbox_license.lic

8:24:13 (lmgrd) lmgrd tcp-port 27000

8:24:13 (lmgrd) Starting vendor daemons …

8:24:13 (lmgrd) License server manager (lmgrd) startup failed:

8:24:13 (lmgrd) File not found, thinkbox.exe[/code]

Need help :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot.

Cheers

Sebastian

Hi there,

it was my bad.

After updating the flexlm license server everything works fine.

In my case the thinkbox.exe was missing in the flexlm directory.

Problem solved :wink:

If you were previously on Deadline 5.0 and earlier, it used a vendor daemon called frantic.exe for the licensing.

Starting with Deadline 5.1 and including 5.2 and the Beta of 6.0, the licensing was switched to the new thinkbox.exe vendor daemon.

You can find the relevant binaries in the Repository folder …\flexlmTools\win32, or you could download the latest Licensing tools from thinkboxsoftware.com/license … -download/

Then copy the thinkbox.exe file into your C:\FLEXnet\ folder.

If this does not solve the problem, please let us know!

EDIT: Posted just after you fixed the problem yourself! Glad it is working now! :slight_smile:

Thank you for this post and the info!

Took 3 hours to finally find the reason. Was starting to suspect the license file was corrupt…
Would’ve been very nice to have been warned about this huge change when I received the 5.2 upgrade license-file to my deadline 5.0 setup.

Oh well, seems to work now. Thanks!
