Vendor log file is not collecting data
I have updated my license file for Mentor Graphics to include an Options line (highlighted in bold). I have stopped and restarted the license server but I am not collecting any data. Any ideas on why the report log is not collecting data? The log file shows the vendor daemon is active
License File
SERVER Servername Macaddress 1717
DAEMON mgcld C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\mgcld.exe port=4207
OPTIONS=C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\Mentor.opt
Option file
REPORTLOG +"C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\Mentor_reportlog.rl"
Debug.log
23:36:57 (lmgrd) SLOG: FNPLS-INTERNAL-VL1-4096

Hi @kdoyle
It seems that the option file is not picked up. Can you reorder the vendor line to look like the following
DAEMON mgcld C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\mgcld.exe OPTIONS=C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\Mentor.opt port=4207
the option file needs to be before the port=4207.I would also recommend to rename the file from Mentor.opt to mgcld.opt. you can place it on the same location as that of the mgcld.exe so "C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\"
If you are still experiencing issues, or you do not see evidence on the debug log file that the option is picked up, remove the OPTIONS= keyword and do the following
DAEMON mgcld C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\mgcld.exe C:\MentorGraphics\Licensing\mgcld.opt port=4207
I've seen rare cases where the OPTIONS= keyword was not picked by the vendor
