we are using FLEXNET 11.13.1.2 for licencing. A client is using floating licenses. A license works, if the IP Range is specified at HOSTID=INTERNET=*.*.*.* .In this case the client 10.0.102.96 is able to checkout the license.
If I put the IP Range HOSTID=INTERNET=10.0.*.*, the client using the IP address 10.0.102.96 is not able to check the license out. I checked the IP address using lmutil lmhostid INTERNET and 10.0.102.96 is returned.
Any idea, what may go wrong ? Do you check something else, like IP Addresses of intermediate nodes or perform special things if NAT translation is used on the way from client to license server ?
Hi @ClemensAugustT Can you please check License Administration Guide under -FNP_IP_ENV - where this explains "This client-side environment variable determines how the client's IP address is presented to the server."
Hi @ClemensAugustT can you post the error? I tried with the latest version of FNP and was not able to re-create this issue and the version you are using is very old so if possible can you test with supported version and if you still find the problem then please open a support case.
Dear mrathinam, thanks for your answer. My question was: Do you check something else, like IP Addresses of intermediate nodes or perform special things if NAT translation is used on the way from client to license server ?
It would be nice, if you could provide some information on this or send a link to a relevant section of the documentation.
Best Regards
Clemens
P.S.: We use an old version of FNP, because many of our clients still using old versions of lmgrd (Never change a running system.)
