Question

notation options for ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE

Hello All, 

 

Is anybody able to explain to me how it is possible that adding:  Serialnumber@Flexnetversion as a ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE in the *.psf file , creo connects to the license server? 

 

e.g.:"ENV=PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE=7788@xx.x.xx.xxx;7788@xxxxxxxxx;2017260@11.14.0.1

xx.x.xx.xxx = IP4 adres server

xxxxxxxxx = name server

2017260@11.14.0.1 = Serialnumber of flexnet   @   Version of flexnet

 

adding this: 2017260@11.14.0.1 to the ENV line resulted in being able to connect to the license server, without this text, starting Creo resulted in a (-96) Failed to connect to server...

Hi,

 

PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE variable is used to define path to license manager.

 

Path format ... TCP_port_number@server_ID

 

TCP_port_number

  • default number is 7788
  • IT admin can change default number
  • I think that in your case default number was changed to 2017260 - therefore 7788 does not work

server_ID

  • ID can be server name -OR- server IPv4 address

Thank you Martin for your reply.

I understand your explanation about the tcp port and Server ID. 

 

We have checked the details of the  FLEXnet web admin at customer  and 2017260 seems to be the serial number and 11.14.0.0 can maby be an IP4 adress but is also the current version of the software.

2017260 is too high for a TCP port. 11.14.0.0 would be a very strange IP. Is it an public IP.

 

Which server lists Creo? Open Creo got to File > Help > System Information -> Servername:...

 

how about ptcstatus.bat?

FYI, 2017260 is the build code for Creo Parametric 4.0 M030.  I don't think it has anything to do with Flexnet.

Hello TomU, 

I am not familiar with a Creo date code in that form. Is there a method of finding such a number within my own Creo Parametric Session?

 

The code 2017260 is mentioned in the Flexnet Publisher Webinterface under System Information and is called Volume Serial Number.
