The  FlexNet Publisher licensing service should always be run from the installation directory .     For example: If the installation is available at the following directory: <path>/demo/2020.06/linux64/bin/install_fnp.sh   Then, you must run this installer from the 'bin' parent folder.  For instance, when you run it from /opt/demo  folder (as '/demo/2020.06/linux64/bin/install_fnp.sh --cert') you get the below error :   ERROR: Unable to locate anchor service to install, please specify correctly on command line   ...

After reconnection attempts fails, the client tries to exit the application. The default behavior in Windows will be Pop-up dialog box with update about the error. The application will exit once the dialog box is closed. In case, you want to change the exit behavior, you can write your own callback under the attribute: ( void ) lc_set_attr ( lm_job , LM_A_USER_EXITCALL_EX , ( LM_A_VAL_TYPE ) quit ) ;   The callback can be written as static int quit ( LM_HANDLE * lm_job , char * feat , void * itr ) { printf ( "LM_A_USER_EXITCALL_EX is called for %s \n" , feat ) ; exit ( 0 ) ; } ...

Issue If the server is running and the system goes into hibernate mode automatically , when the system is brought back up the server might throw the below error 16:13:06 (DEMO) Wrong hostid on SERVER line for license file: 16:13:06 (DEMO)) C:\Program Files\FLEXlm\licenses\DEMO).lic 16:13:06 (DEMO)) SERVER line says 0290837ec0211, hostid is "6c6914b445e9 c8763fbe7b98 6ce14b446e9 6c7814b446e8 3c971ab940fa" 16:13:06 (DEMO)) Invalid hostid on SERVER line This causes the license server to shut down. The problem seems to be caused by a delay in the waking of the network card that the license server is tied to. In this instance if the license server is restarted manually a few moments later then it works. Solution You can use the ls_daemon_periodic callback in lsvendor.c. This callback is called approximately once every minute, including shortly after the VD wakes up from hibernate. We have tested this by disabling the network adapter, waiting a few seconds, then re-enabling it. Sample lsvendor.c pseudocode follows: static void user_periodic_func(); void (*ls_daemon_periodic)() = user_periodic_func; static void user_periodic_func() { char host_value[buffer] = ""; const int num_tries = 3; unsigned attempts = 0; lc_hostid(lm_job, HOSTID_ETHER, host_value); while (string_contains(host_value, "ffffffff") && attempts < num_tries) { /* some message to stdout here, if you want to see attempts in the VD debug log */ sleep (2000); attempts++; lc_hostid(lm_job, HOSTID_ETHER, host_value); } } ...
