Summary


Details

User getting a license error on the client system hosting solid edge licenses on the Windows Client OS

If we click on perform status enquiry it shows error of host ID.

Also it does not allows to run solid edge locally. 

But Solid Edge can be run on client machines

Solution

Ping the hostnames of the same system and getting a General Failure message

The Solid Edge license manager was hosting the licenses successfully and these licenses were consumed on the client system pinging the hostname of the Solid Edge license manager

The system not pinging its own hostname could be a Firewall/Anti_Virus setting or an OS setting
