Can't checkout a feature using the new lmadmin license manager, see log below (we're using trusted storage):

16:31:32 (taclic) Server started on localhost for: Menta.View
16:31:32 (taclic) EXTERNAL FILTERS are OFF
16:32:06 (taclic) TCP_NODELAY NOT enabled
16:32:25 (taclic) Not master server, checkout attempt of 'Menta.View' from jussipa@jussipa refused

It works perfect when we use the plain old lmgrd...

Ok, problem fixed. In the licensefile I had SERVER localhost ANY. Not so good for a license server. Changed that to SERVER this_host ANY

We were also seeing this issue if you supplied a fully qualified hostname as part of the SERVER line

If you have in your license file:
SERVER myserver.xxxx.net XXXXXXXXXX 27000

When you checkout a feature, you will get checkout refused message. I had to change the license to the following to get the checkout to succeed:

SERVER myserver XXXXXXXXXXXX 27000

It works fine with lmgrd.

This problem also occurs in the following situation:
- Point the license server to a directory
- Put to .lic files in this directory
- The SERVER line specifies a slightly different name for the server, like differences wiht upper and lower case characters

Tested on Windows server and lmgrd 11.10. After making sure the licensefiles all used exactly the same name for the SERVER line, the problem went away.
