Is Cloud-based licensing available for NX?
Solution
The most recent version of SPLM Licensing is CAPABLE of supporting Cloud-based
licensing, however the NX application has not implemented this feature.
Siemens PLM is investigating Cloud-based licensing, but nothing has been
announced or released.
There is another option for supporting remote licensing.
You can set up a VPN connection between the license server and the client.This
would allow the client to accesss the license server at both the server
location and at the remote location.
The VPN connection would need to allow TCP port traffic on both port 28000 and
the dynamic port used by the vendor daemon 'ugslmd.exe'. The dynamic port for
the vendor daemon can be made static by editing the VENDOR line in the license
file and adding the 'PORT' variable. For example, if you want to set the
VENDOR daemon to use port 28001, the VENDOR line in the license file would
look like,
VENDOR ugslmd PORT=28001
