Dinesh,

1.)

You need TRIAD license file (ask PTC License Department).

It contains three server lines as shown in the following example:

SERVER servername1 PTC_HOSTID=MACaddress1 7788

SERVER servername2 PTC_HOSTID=MACaddress1 7788

SERVER servername3 PTC_HOSTID=MACaddress1 7788

2.)

You install FLEXnet software on three license servers using TRIAD license file.

We have recieved Three Licesne server, Just wanted to know that are thr any specific method to Install Three licesne server on every server and how to get enroll on client systme

Dinesh,

from my point of view running TRIAD server is too complicated. I prefer using single virtual machine as license server.

Ohh!!! no acutally some times if single server get crashed or anything happen with server it dificult to overcome all the bottelneck operations also we have to wait for new configured license from PTC.

this is the reason we are going for Tried License.

I just would like to know is the same process i have to follow whic we are using for Single server.

The problem with a Triad is that it requires at least two of the three servers to always be in communication with each other. If two of the three can't talk, then no licenses will be issued. (There is a nice discussion on this here.)

Instead of using a Triad, we've chosen to split our licenses between two different license servers and then configured Creo to look for licenses on both of them. Take a look at this line in the PSF file (C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M030\Parametric\bin\parametric.psf):

ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE-=7788@license_server_1;7788@license_server_2

license_server_1 and license_server_2 would be replaced with the actual names of your license servers.

When you do the .PSF file for the Triad, it is the same syntax as Tom shows for his 2 servers except you add a third server.

ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE-=7788@license_server_1;7788@license_server_2; 7788@license_server_3

where license_server_# would be your actual server names.

Thnak You...

I would like to know is the same process i have to follow whic we are using for Single server installation ???

The installation process:

  1. install FLEXnet on 1-st server
  2. install FLEXnet on 2-nd server
  3. install FLEXnet on 3-rd server

Note:

When you use single license server installed in Virtual machine, then:

  • you can set fixed MAC address in Virtual machine
  • you can create backup of virtual machine
  • when hardware crashes, then you can restore Virtual machine from backup on another hardware very quickly

Ohk....I will do the same....

Thank You so much!!!

will get back if any issue comes while installing...

Have great Day


Hiii Martin,

sorry it same question/issue which I am facing now...

I am Installing Three Server but getting error "License management Installed Successfully but Could Not be started....Refer to the logfile...

Some one from PTC told me that While Installing licesne server you have do the Modification In License file by Adding Host Name In license File...

If u dnt mind Can You guide me where i should ADD Host name In Lm_xxxx_standerd.text file

Hi,

license file sent to you by PTC contains three server lines:

SERVER LIC-1 PTC_HOSTID=MACaddress1 7788

SERVER LIC-2 PTC_HOSTID=MACaddress2 7788

SERVER LIC-3 PTC_HOSTID=MACaddress3 7788

Edit the file and:

  • replace LIC-1 with the name of 1-st license server
  • replace LIC-2 with the name of 2-nd license server
  • replace LIC-3 with the name of 3-rd license server
