FlexLM Licensing - Vendor Daemon "Invalid Host"

Hello! I am new to FlexLM and new to the forums, so please forgive me if I am posting on the wrong board or lack knowledge.

I've been having issues running FlexLM's vendor daemon due to licensing. I have been communicating with the vendor, but they are fairly stumped, so I'm asking here to see if I can get answers. I've looked through previous forums to find an applicable answer, but was not fruitful.

The vendor is LynxOS 2.2.2, with FlexLM v11.4. I can run the license server, but when the vendor daemon attempts to run, it exits with "Status 25 (Invalid Host)". I have LynxOS licensed on a separate machine (unrestricted air-gapped), and followed the same steps for the current machine (on a secure network). Still, I'm met with this error after trying a few slightly different license keys. I have some thoughts/questions.

  • The host name contains a domain. Is this domain extension needed within the license file?
  • There are 2 composite IDs for the 2 network adapters. Does it matter which I use? The vendor told me either will work.
  • Can the license file handle underscores in the host name?
  • Could the secure network be blocking some essential communication? Note we have opened the firewall for the license server and vendor daemon.

Hi @tyler_sepulveda 

First of all the FlexLM v11.4. is very old and out of support. However, by reading the error code, it looks like there is a mismatch b/w the hostname of the Machine and the hostname/id provided in the license file. Could you please confirm the same? 

  • The hostname contains a domain. Is this domain extension needed within the license file?
    Feedback:-Ideally the hostname should match with the hostname provided in the lic file.
  • There are 2 composite IDs for the 2 network adapters. Does it matter which I use? Feedback :- either will work.
  • Can the license file handle underscore in the hostname?
     Feedback :- I don't think  "_"  is a valid hostname character for hostname, but it can vary based on the platform
  • Could the secure network be blocking some essential communication? 
    I would expect different errors if it is a connectivity issue.

    Please feel free to open a support case with us, so we can investigate in detail.

Pranav
