Where to find a newer Adams license file after expiration

Example Situation:

(1) Customer explains a user needs to continue running a very old version of NX.

(2) That user also needs an Adams license file (separate from the ugslmd vendor daemon licensing scheme)

(3) The Adams license file name is mlicense.dat

      It can be found from underneath an NX installation

Example NX BASE DIRECTORY\MECH\adams\mlicense.dat

(4) Not having NX 2206 (installed nor running) anywhere, the customer requests the mlicense.dat file from an NX 2206 installation to be sent to them, as its expiration date will be newer (further ahead) than their current Adams license file -  which has just expired.

Solution

(1)  Example for NX 2206

C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX2206\MECH\adams\mlicense.dat

(2) Had to use the Siemens Secured File Transfer tool to send mlicense.dat file from an NX2206 installation located on a machine here.

(3) Descending down the mlicense.dat file, the license feature lines progressively have later expiration dates. 

The very bottom of the mlicense.dat from NX2206 (presumably the newest mlicense.dat available at this time) shows an expiration date of May 31, 2023
