Our license specifies both frantic and thinkbox as vendors. But thinkbox.exe doesn’t launch only frantic.exe.

Any thoughts here? As I write this post, I’m thinking that both daemons need to be there but i have no idea why the new one won’t run.
Hey Ben, You have to create a new service in LMTools, one for “Frantic” and point to the lmgrd.exe in the “old” license server folder the contains the frantic.exe. Then create a new service “Thinkbox” and point to the lmgrd.exe in the folder that contains thinkbox.exe. That is the way I do it and it works for me… so therefore it must work for everyone (just kidding) Unless of course you did that already, then I have no idea.
Au contraire, you only need one service for both vendor daemons if you have received the new combined license file. It looks like the issue Ben is seeing is because his license was incorrectly formed by our sales team.
This portion is the give-away:
14:46:28 (thinkbox) Warning: no prior INCREMENT line for UPGRADE (deadline:5.00->5.10)
14:46:28 (thinkbox) Warning: no prior INCREMENT line for UPGRADE (krakatoa-max:1.60->2.00)
14:46:28 (thinkbox) Warning: no prior INCREMENT line for UPGRADE (krakatoa-max-render:1.60->2.00)
It means there was an Upgrade applied where it should actually be a new Feature line (since its technically a new feature from the ‘thinkbox’ vendor as opposed to a upgrade of the ‘frantic’ based features).
I think someone should have emailed you a fixed license, since I see it has been corrected in our records. Please let me know if you would like me to send it again.
I’m also having some problems with the new daemon. The only software that cannot acquire a license is Krakatoa?
Running two services on the server both pointing to the same lmguard.exe and thinkbox_license.lic. The folder also contains frantic.exe and thinkbox.exe
This is what the server status tells me -

Could it be that my license has also been incorrectly formed as mentioned in the post above?
