Hi and thank you for the reply and trying to call.
This is the Thinkbox.log prior to changing the hosts file:-

13:33:55 (lmgrd) Please Note:
13:33:55 (lmgrd)
13:33:55 (lmgrd) This log is intended for debug purposes only.
13:33:55 (lmgrd) In order to capture accurate license
13:33:55 (lmgrd) usage data into an organized repository,
13:33:55 (lmgrd) please enable report logging. Use Flexera Software LLC's
13:33:55 (lmgrd) software license administration solution,
13:33:55 (lmgrd) FlexNet Manager, to readily gain visibility
13:33:55 (lmgrd) into license usage data and to create
13:33:55 (lmgrd) insightful reports on critical information like
13:33:55 (lmgrd) license availability and usage. FlexNet Manager
13:33:55 (lmgrd) can be fully automated to run these reports on
13:33:55 (lmgrd) schedule and can be used to track license
13:33:55 (lmgrd) servers and usage across a heterogeneous
13:33:55 (lmgrd) network of servers including Windows NT, Linux
13:33:55 (lmgrd) and UNIX. Contact Flexera Software LLC at
13:33:55 (lmgrd) www.flexerasoftware.com for more details on how to
13:33:55 (lmgrd) obtain an evaluation copy of FlexNet Manager
13:33:55 (lmgrd) for your enterprise.

13:33:55 (lmgrd) Server's System Date and Time: Wed Feb 04 2015 13:33:55 GMT Standard Time
13:33:55 (lmgrd) pid 5684
13:33:55 (lmgrd) SLOG: Summary LOG statistics is enabled.
13:34:03 (lmgrd) "server": Not a valid server hostname, exiting.
13:34:03 (lmgrd) Valid license server system hosts are: "emp3d.local"
13:34:03 (lmgrd) Using license file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Thinkbox\License Server\Thinkbox.lic"
After changing the hosts file by adding “127.0.0.1 server” as suggested by the docs, the log stops at:-“13:33:55 (lmgrd) SLOG: Summary LOG statistics is enabled.” Lmtools states:- “VD is starting, please check vendor daemon’s status in debug log” when starting the Thinkbox server.
One thing I didn’t mention is when trying to start the license server, two instances of lmgrd fire up in the task manager and both attempt to start the service, then the PID changes each time as they try again when it doesn’t start. The service is not set to use a specific user account, has the ‘restart’ options set as per the docs and is set to Automatic (delayed start). Manually trying to start the service from the ‘Services’ manager, doesn’t manage to start it. It hangs around 50% then when it reaches the end, tells me either the service was stopped, ‘Some services stop automatically if they are not used by another service or program.’ or 'Windows could not start the Thinkbox7 service on local computer. ‘Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly.’
Lmtools shows this as other vendor:- C:\flexlm\license.dat This file no longer exists in the new installation directories for either C:\Program Files (x86)\Thinkbox\License Server\ or c:\flexlm
If I add my domain to the server name in the hosts file I get a bit further, I also added the vendor path to the license file in lmtools.
Lmtools perform status enquiry:-

Notice here the ip for the server is shown as the name now and not ‘server’ as it should be. Changing the hosts file to add this:- 192.168.19.2 server as well as the 127.0.0.1 server.emp3d.local gives a different status enquiry report:-

[/code]
At this point the service has started in the services manager, I can get lmtools to reread the license but the status enquiries say VD is down, as do the slaves when set to 27016@192.168.19.2
If I update my machine name in my license file to 192.168.19.2 from ‘server’ then it all fails without as much feedback from the reports, as they implied the server name is possibly wrong.
Win server 2008 r2 x64 No windows or 3rd party firewall, just Cisco ASA 5500 firewall hardware which has no effect on same machine access. To clarify:- I have the same result using the x32bit auto license installer going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Thinkbox\License Server\ and using the manual install x64bit to c:\flexlm and setting up the license in Lmtools manually. Setting paths to same folder for lmgrd, the license and the log. I uninstalled the previous license server by stopping the service and removing it, then deleting the C:\flexlm folder as per the docs.
I am at my office for the next 4 and a half hours if you want to try my number again.
Many thanks,
Tim.
