FlexNet Floating License

[tedtt9]

I recently purchased a floating license from SnapGene which is shared via FlexNet server, which is running on a windows PC. On the network I can connect other windows devices to the server and access the licensed software. However on any Mac (OS-X) I try, I cannot retrieve the floating license and receive the error

Can you share the exact error that you are observing on the Mac?

Hi @tedtt9 I have the same issue and I think I found out what was going on. I was working with a client computer that got bugged up. Once I moved off to do a clean install on 2 other clients the problem I discussed did not exist. For clarification the whole issue started when the MAC address of the server where the license server was on was changed. I updated the license key to reflect the MAC change and noted the problem.

Yes you can connect by simple server

I am not clear about your problem yet. Can you describe it more clearly?

Windows PC's have a connection limit for incoming connections. If you've got more than 10 clients it may just be that you're hitting this limit
