Nick you will need to run a "ptcflush.bat" on the license that your system has aquired. Open a command window and change the directory to "C:\Program Files\ptc\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin". The batch file is located here.

Next follow this from PTC.

Resolution
  • PTCflush can be used as follows on the client machine
    1. Run the command prompt
    2. Type the command ptcstatus -v to get the License, Feature, Server, Port and Handle of the floating license file to be flushed
    3. Type the ptcflush command with the following syntax ptcflush [feature] [license server] [port] [handle]
  • Example:
  • Ptcstatus -v
Displaying status for license file: C:\Program Files\flexnet\licensing\license.dat
License Server is UP: server0l2 22-66-AA-CC-01-22ptc_d FLEXnet Publisher version: 10.8License In Use Free Version Expire Date SCN
------- ------ ---- ------- ----------- -----
CREODMA_STANDARD 1 9 33.0 None 1A123456
(user1@clientmachine2) CREODMA_STANDARD server02l 7788 101
  • The [feature] is CREODMA_STANDARD
  • The [license server] is server02l
  • The [port] is 7788
  • The [handle] is 101
  • The ptcflush command would be run as follows: ptcflush CREODMA_STANDARD server02l 7788 101 (Step 3)

Hope this helps!

Nick,

the only reliable method is stop/start license manager service on the server .

ALSO ... You can test license borrowing. If you borrow license, then you don't need permanent access to the license server.

Martin,

The ptcflush batch file is a reliable method. I have used it many many times over the years and never had any issues. Also, what if Nick does not have access to the license server
