Licensing FAQ

  • I have installed new licenses, but I am having trouble getting a license

    If you are having problems getting new licenses to work, try to clear all references to old licenses.

    On Linux, follow these steps:

    • Stop NORSAR Software Suite
    • Go to your home directory
    • Delete the file called: .flexlmrc
    • Go to: .config/NORSAR
    • Delete the file called: license.conf
    • Start NORSAR Software Suite and select your license

    On Windows, follow these steps:

    • Stop NORSAR Software Suite
    • Open regedit (registry editor)
    • Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NORSAR\license\
    • Delete the folder named: flexnet_hosts_nss
    • Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FLEXlm License Manager
    • Delete the key named: NORSARLMD_LICENSE_FILE
    • Start NORSAR Software Suite and select your license
  • License error for "n3d_main" when starting NORSAR Software Suite

    NORSAR Software Suite and NORSAR-3D 5.7 share a n3d_main license feature. If you have a merged license file with both a NORSAR Software Suite license and a NORSAR-3D 5.7 license, FlexNet might have read the 5.7 license feature version when starting the server. NORSAR Software Suite cannot use this version of the feature. Please remove (or comment out with #) the n3d_main 5.7 license feature from the merged license file and restart the license server.

  • How to get FLEXlm Host ID

    NORSAR software uses a floating FLEXlm license. To determine the FLEXlm Host ID for the license server machine, use the following commands:

    • SUN: hostid
    • Linux: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 (Use HWaddr in eth0 output and remove colons)
    • Windows: Open a command window and type ipconfig /all. Use the Physical Address of Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection.
  • Merge several license files into one license file

    • Use one license file as base
    • Copy the feature lines (and ONLY the feature lines) from the other license files into the base license file, below the already existing feature lines in the base file.
    • Start the license server with the merged file.
  • Installing the license files in a global place

    • Merge the license files.
    • If you want to use the Norsar_FLEXlm script to start the server, set LM_LICENSE_FILE in the Norsar_FLEXlm script.
    • Set LM_LICENSE_FILE in the Norsar_2d and Norsar_3d startup scripts. SeisRoX and the new NORSAR Software Suite will ask for the license server at startup, so this step is not needed.
    • Start the server.
  • I have installed the license file on a new server, but I am having trouble getting a license

    On Linux, the path to all license files used are stored in a file called .flexlmrc which may overwrite the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. Look in your home directory for the file .flexlmrc. Delete this file.

    On Windows this is located in the registry. Open regedit, locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->FLEXlm License Manager.  Delete the NORSARLMD_LICENSE_FILE entry.

  • I have a demo/evaluation license file, but can't get a license, and I get a popup window with error message: "No such feature 'n2d_main'" or "No such feature 'n3d_main'"

    Remember to set SM_DEMO_VERSION to True in Norsar_2d and/or Norsar_3d (located under <installed_path>/bin/startup)

  • Error message "Cannot connect to license server system (-15,570:113 No route to host)" or "Unknown host: <hostname>"

    • Check that the hostname in the licensefile is also listed in the /etc/hosts file.

    The /etc/hosts file looks something like this:

    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost4
    ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost6


    Add the name of your license server to the end of the lines, so that they look like this:

    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost4 myservername
    ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost6 myservername

     

    • If the above solution doesn't work, try to change the hostname in the licensefile to localhost and add the line 127.0.0.1 localhost in the /etc/hosts file. It is also possible to get a hint of what is wrong by using the command /usr/sbin/ping hostname.
  • Unable to start the license server on Windows

    • FlexNet needs Visual Studio C++ run-time components to run.

      FlexNet 11.11: Error message "The program can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing".

      Please download and install Visual Studio 2013 redistributable 32 and 64-bit versions from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 

      FlexNet 11.17 (from NORSAR Software Suite 2021): Error message "The program can't start because MSVCR140.dll is missing".

      Please download and install Visual Studio 2015 redistributable 32 and 64-bit versions from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
       
    • Try to disable the firewall before starting the server. After the server has started, enable the firewall again.
       
    • If the 32-bit version of lmgrd.exe is selected in LMTOOLS, try to select the 64-bit version (or the 64-bit version if the 32-bit version is selected.)
       
    • Try to start the license server in non-service mode in LMTOOLS (uncheck "Use Services" in the "Config Services" tab.)
  • Error message "/flexlm/bin/x86/lmgrd: Command not found" when starting license server on Linux

    FlexNet v11 requires LSB (Linux Standard Base) 3.0 or higher. Use the command lsb_release -a to check if LSB is installed. If not, install it using the packet manager for your Linux distribution. Make sure to install the correct 32 or 64-bit version of LSB. For example NORSAR-2D would need the 32-bit version and NORSAR-3D 64-bit would need the 64-bit version. You can have both 32 and 64-bit versions installed at the same time
