MathCAD -Transfering a License Server from Win xp to Server 2008R2 64bits

[ptc-5003493]

Hello all, i am new here and struggling to get this transfered.

My current setup was MathCAD 14 on uses workstation with a Floating license install on a Windows XP .

I decided to move this to an official license server running Windows Server 2008R2 64bits. I contacted PTC License management to generate me a new floating license with my new info which they did.

I tried to install the PTC License Server with WildFire 5.0 ( M050) but i am never poped the question to browse to my license file. When the installation completes it only seems to have copied the install files here : C:\Program Files\ptc_custom

The deamon - lmgrd.exe are no where to be found.

I presently have LMTools running other licenses on this server so i decided to configure a new one for MathCAD. I open LMTools go under Config Services and createa new one. I copied the old deamon from the other machine ( ptcd_exe ) and used another lmgrd file from another application. All gets created ok but the Windows service one created does not want to stay '' Started '' and closes after 5seconds.

I know this sound like a weird way to get it working but i'm new to this and think should not be that complicated.

Please help 😉
