  Code Block
  export LM_LICENSE_FILE=27000@localhost

Troubleshooting

LogFile Error

Linux

...

• If you use the nxlmd service, check the execution log file in the following directory

...

• :

  Code Block
  $> /var/log/NXLMD.log

• If you use the lmadmin service

...

• ,

...

• check the execution log file in the following directory:

  Code Block
  $> /opt/NanoXplore/NXLMD/2.2/bin/lmadmin/logs/NXLMD.log

Windows

...

• Check the execution log files in:

  Code Block
  $> C:\NanoXplore\NXLMD\2.2\bin\lmadmin\logs

lmadmin Error (Linux)

...

Problem

The following message appears in the /opt/NanoXplore/NXLMD/2.2/bin/lmadmin/logs/web.log:

[alert] getpwuid: couldn't determine user name from uid 4294967295

Possible Cause

You probably may have launched lmadmin as root.

Workaround/Fix

Try to launch it lmadmin as another user (dedicated lmadmin for example).

lmhostid Error (Linux)

...

Problem

The following message appears in the execution log file (for example):

Wrong hostid on SERVER line for license file:

              ${MY_LICENSE_FILE}

SERVER lines says 08002780463d, hostid is (Can't get hostid of type 2 [])

Invalid hostid on SERVER line

With:

...

${MY_LICENSE_FILE} = ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/license.lic

Possible Cause

You probably have probably the wrong network interface . To change it, (see previous sections .If you want to for more information on how to change this)

Workaround/Fix

To check the hostid found by NXLMD without running the server, you can use the following command:

$> ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/bin/lmhostid

• You

...

• must get a full hostid with ${HOSTID} not empty:

  Code Block
  The FlexNet host ID of this machine is "${HOSTID}"

lmstat Error (Linux)

You can check that Check the NanoXplore License Manager Daemon runs is running correctly using the following command:

$> ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/bin/lmstat -a

GLIBC

...

Problem (Linux)

Problem

If you have the following error message appears:

NXLMD: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by NXLMD)

...

Fix

Change the links in directory the ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/bin directory to your OS version.

For example:

lmgrd -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/lmgrd
lmhostid -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/lmhostid

lmstat -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/lmstat

lmutil -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/lmutil

NXLMD -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/NXLMD

hostname

Error(Linux)

You can check that you have Check your hostname is written in the file:

/etc/hosts.

Firewall

...

Problem

Linux

Resolution

If you have a firewall set, you must add a specific rule for the lmgrd port Port (27000 by default is 27000) and for the NXLMD port. Port

• You can manually specify the NXLMD

...

• Port in the License File, for example, to set the port to 27010:

  Code Block
  $> DAEMON NXLMD ${MY_BIN_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD PORT=27010

with ${MY_BIN_DIRECTORY} = ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/bin/

...

...

Windows

If the Windows firewall is enabled, you have to authorize must authorise lmadmin and lmgrd. On

• At the first launch of the server, Windows will ask you if you
