2025-01-24T15:45:34Z

Summary


Details

The environment variable SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER is being ignored after the installation (or upgrade) of 'NX X' using 'Siemens Software Center'.

The NX syslog file shows that the Cloud Mode is active:


This is caused by the configuration variable SALT_LICENSING_TYPE that exists with the value cloud:


Platforms
  • na windows-1064
Release Versions
  • NX X V2406
  • NX X V2412
Solution

The issue is caused by the addition of the following entry to the file %UGII_BASE_DIR%\UGII\ugii_env_ug.dat  (NX2406) or to the file %UGII_BASE_DIR%\UGII\ugii_env.master (NX 2412), during the installation (or upgrade) of 'NX X' using 'Siemens Software Center':

export SALT_LICENSING_TYPE=cloud

By removing or commenting out this line, the environment variable SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER will be used by NX to point to the license server.
