Need C and C++ example

[Dixioldie]

Hello,
I'm an absolute newbe working with FlexnetPublisher. So, my question is probably silly. Please answer it anyway (if possible).

After successfull compilation of the toolkit, I looked around for an example, how to code (C and C++) the license request.
I only want to send a string with the feature name and get back the license=OK (if available)
Where are the subroutine calls described?
Which libraries from the toolkit will be needed?

Thanks for any help

The machind directory of the FlexNet Publisher toolkit contains lmflex.c, probably the simplest example of performing a license checkout. The examples directory contains additional examples, and the C/C++ function reference begins with typical sequences of function calls.

Please see makefile or makefile.act in the platform directory (such as i86_n3) of your FNP toolkit. The lmflex.exe target shows the .lib and other files that need to be linked in. The FNP Development Environment Guide fnp_devenv.pdf also shows a list of required libraries.

Hi,
in my case i can see only x64_n6 platform directory in file 11.11.0.2 FlexNet Publisher Windows x86-64 file (that actually need to be x64), while in fnp_devenv.pdf under Setting Up Microsoft Visual Studio
for a FlexEnabled Application only setup for i86_n3. Is there an additional documentation covering x64 platform?

if i set x64_n6 instead i86_n3

C:/flexlm/x64_n6
C:/flexlm/x64_n6/activation/lib

i got errors like, unresolved external symbol l_n36_buf

EDIT:
i got the correct set of libs from from output of command line example
lm_new.obj lmgr.lib libsb.lib libcrvs.lib oldnames.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib netapi32.lib advapi32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib comctl32.lib wsock32.lib Rpcrt4.lib oleaut32.lib Ole32.lib Wbemuuid.lib wintrust.lib crypt32.lib libcmt.lib lmgr_dongle_stub.lib .\activation\lib\libnoact.lib

Hello,
i am searching for a way to convert string to LM_A_VAL_TYPE, can anyone assist me with an example?

what i want to accomplish is to set TST_LICPATH from a string.
(void)lc_set_attr(lm_job, LM_A_LICENSE_DEFAULT, (LM_A_VAL_TYPE) TST_LICPATH);

Thank you

[RobertDickau]

Casting the string to LM_A_VAL_TYPE as you've done, and as done in the lmflex.c example, should do what you want.
