LMTools

[mag00]

Hi guys.

I need some help to try to make a license server work on Wine.

I am trying to port some engineering applications to linux via Wine.

If I can make it works, I can prove to my boss that we can get out of windows (finally).

I am trying to use softwares like i-Deas, Unigraphics and HyperWorks under Wine in my Ubuntu distro.

My problem starts in license, that uses the LMTools to get up.

The licenses does not came UP. Can anyone help me with this?

Here are 2 pictures from LMTools window.




The Ubuntu version is 8.04 x64 and the Wine is 1.0

Any help will be apreciate.

Thanks

Run it from the terminal and post output here. Also note there is native FlexLM license server for Linux. You might want to try that first.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how I can do this?

I am new to linux world.

I did not found how I can se the "services" list like windows.

In windows I can execute the services.msc command and them I can see the command line for the service.

Without this command line I can not run it directly in terminal, right?

right-click at the icon you're clicking to start your application, select properties. then go at the tab saying launcher. copy the command at the command box.


then open the terminal (if you're using ubuntu, hit alt+f2 and write gnome-terminal . its the equivalent of winkey+r in windows) and paste it at the terminal.

your program should start up (dont close your terminal).

use your program until the misbehavior occurs, copy whatever has been posted in the terminal and post it here

11:00:56 (lmgrd) The TCP port number in the license, 7788, is already in use.
11:00:56 (lmgrd) Possible causes:
11:00:56 (lmgrd)    1) The license server manager (lmgrd) is already running for
 this license.
11:00:56 (lmgrd)    2) The OS has not "cleared" this port since lmgrd died.
11:00:56 (lmgrd)    3) Another process is using this port number (unlikely).
11:00:56 (lmgrd) Solutions:
11:00:56 (lmgrd)    1) Make sure lmgrd and all vendor daemons for this
11:00:56 (lmgrd)       license are not running.
11:00:56 (lmgrd)    2) You may have to wait for the OS to clear this port.
11:00:56 (lmgrd) Retrying for about 5 more minutes

How can I see what TCP port number is in use?

Does anyone have idea where I can find an HOW-TO or an STEP-BY-STEP tutorial to run an LM Service under wine?

I think I had a similar problem (with another application, though).
Can you describe, how exactly do you run your application? Clicking on it's
icon, or issuing some commands in console window?

Gert van den Berg -
Thanks for the information.

dAnIK SeNT -
When I made this thread, I was just clicking on "start" button from LMTOOLS menu, inside of "start/stop/reread" tab.
From that date to now, I read many information on internet and try to understand the commands that runs backwards the "start" button and try to do a lots of tests with many license managers. Some of them linux native and others windows native.
Finally I make it works, but just the license is UP. The software does not recognize that the license is UP.
Now I am working to understand where is the gap and how to solve it.
Since the software is installed and the license is up, I think that the solution is very closer to me.
If I make it works, I will run a variety of softwares that I use in my job, and finally can escapes from windows.

The license I was running with the command line

Code: Select all

wine lmgrd

This will UP the license service.

Then I just run the software executable.

Code: Select all

wine hmopengl

In one of my tests (This is for Hyper Works)
I will try to make it work with the following softwares:
- Hyper Works
- I-Deas 12
- NX 6
