Summary


Details

--------------- 
Customer has got license file, which contain 27 nx_integration licenses. 
But only one of users is able to run NXManager. Other users get Flexlm error.


Syslog reports: 
... Failed to allocate license nx_integration 
... Flexlm error is: -4 
... UPS_CL_enter_module nx_integration returned error 10 
... Flexlm error is: 26026 - Teamcenter.NXManager.nxmgr_im at 
d:\workdir\tc1015w1013_win64\src\core\nxmgr_im\pdi_im_session.cxx


FLEXLm log reports:


13:41:23 (ugslmd) OUT: "nx_integration" user1@TcServer 
13:41:26 (ugslmd) DENIED: "nx_integration" user2@TcServer (Licensed number of 
users already reached. (-4,342))


So we can see: only 1 nx_integration license is available. 
What's wrong?



Solution

 In lisence file we have INCREMENT tag. In INCREMENT tag we have product 
version number.For NX modules version should be 30(for NX10) or 29 (for NX9). 
For Teamcemter modules version should be 10(for TC10) or 11 (for TC11). 
"nx_integration" is Teamcenter module and should be 10(for TC10) or 11 (for 
TC11). 
In the customer lisence file we found two INCREMENT lines: version 10 for 27 
licenses, and 30 for 1 license. 
So License server use only single license with higher version (30). 
Lower version (10) is ignored.


INCREMENT nx_integration ugslmd 10.0 *** 27 SUPERSEDE \

We have a license issue in this case. 

Solution: cut INCREMENT with ugslmd=30.0 from license file, restart SPLM License Server service.


After cutting INCREMENT with higher version (30), 27 users can take a license.
