NX for Design

Summary


Details

Customer reports that when using a demo license server to execute a custom dll at startup of NX, they are presented an error message:

NX Initialization error: 
Attempt to free already free block at <memory address>.


The syslog will also show text similar to: 
NXOpen signature.NXOpen.Utilities.MissingResourceException: NX Resource bundle is empty  at NXOpen.Utilities.ResourceUtilities.getEmbeddedDataLen()  at 
NXOpen.Utilities.ResourceUtilities.computeHash()  at 
NXOpen.Utilities.BaseSession.verifyAssembly(String filename, Boolean& alliance_mode,

Caught exception while running: Startup NXOpen.Utilities.NeedDOTNETAuthorLicenseException:

+++ Invalid NX signature found



Solution

Because the NXOpen dll was not signed so that it contains the necessary licenses to execute, and the demo license server does not have a cpp_author or dotnet_author license, the dll fails to execute. The resolution is to sign the dll or attach to a license server that has available author licenses.
