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 Run the command prompt Type the command ptcstatus -v to get the License, Feature, Server, Port and Handle of the floating license file to be flushed 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
