License request failed for feature PROE_ProcessModeler: -5:

[ptc-4383393]

I have everything set up properly, and there are licenses available to use, and Pro/E can obviously contact the server and can see the licenses, and I am able to log on to intralink. Anyone have any clues? windows 7 64bit, 12gb ram, xeon processor.

(I've taken out everything it listed other than what it is displaying to protect the company.)

Hello!

Run the file "ptcstatus.bat" from the folder "C:\Flexlm\bin". Check the debug log file "ptclmgrd.log" (this log is intended for debug purposes only), which is located in the folder: "C:\Flexlm\licensing". If you have an active (paid) maintenance, then try to create a new "Case" with a description of the problem here: http://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/case/case_logger.jsp

P.S. You forgot to mention what Pro/E version you using?

[ptc-4383393]

Wildfire 4.0

I tried the Ptcstatus.bat, but it just displayed exactly what the error message said when I open Pro/e, a list of all the available licenses (which there are alllot, no single license is unavailable )

as for the log, I can not find the file anywhere.

To my supprise my company does not pay for the maintenance for it any more..... considering the massive time and effort being put in to the WF4 installs on win7 machines they would pay for it because thic stuff would be resolved in a snap. All the IT guys here han't a clue what to do from here and the one person that is experienced with doing the.... 'custom' installs of wf4 on win 7 machines, is out sick, has been for a little while, so must be bad. So I'm doing my best to get it running without them.

Look at "Config Services" tab. What path there are specified (if necessary, specify the path to the log file/create an empty text file for the log [with ".log" file extension])?

[ptc-4383393]

How do I access that application? the server info was set up in the batch install and is configured properly because i can see everyone and every single license that is in use and available, Process modeler is among the list of available licenses.

You can find "lmtools.exe" in this folder: "C:\Flexlm\i486_nt\obj".

John,

according to FLEXNET guide, the return code -5 means, that "No such feature exists." If I were you I would check the following:

1. The content of license file. It must contain the line ... INCREMENT PROE_ProcessModeler ptc_d 29.0 permanent 1 \
2. The lmgrd.exe and ptc_d.exe processes on license server. Both processes must be running.
3. ptcstatus.bat output on license server. The output must contain PROE_ProcessModeler line.
4. ProE startup command configuration on your workstation. Command must point to correct license server and correct license name. Try to turn off firewall on license server, too.

How do I change which license that the ProE startup command points to? I thought that if i changed that to another license it might work, but have no clue where/what code or command batch file to edit.

John,

go to PROE\bin directory and find PSF file (.psf extension), which correspond with your startup command. By default, its name is proe1.psf. In my installation its name is proeWildfire4_M150.psf (below you can find the contents of my proeWildfire4_M150.psf).
