How to use the floating license with another computer which is not connected with my office server ?

Hi Everyone,

I am using a floating license for using the MQX RTOS with Code Warrior IDE. We have got the license for one year and still 8 months are available.

My Doubt is ,

We are using the license by keeping it in the office server. The Clients are systems that are used by us for development.

Now I need to use my codewarrior with license in my home for further development, when i am not in office.

How to use the licensed version in my home without disturbing the one in office, FYI my home is connected with internet ?

Please provide me the procedure for accessing the license in my home ..

Regards,

Siva Kumar A

hello Siva Kumar A,

I suggest you use your license BORROW feature.

See attached document, section "FLEXlm using Borrowing"

Hope this helps!

Hi Kumar,

The Borrowing is a solution.

However if you can ping your server from your home you should be able to access the floating license too.

Probably you're using a VPN.

In this case you must add a port for the daemon too and access the license with the environment variable:

LM_LICENSE_FILE=port-daemon@host

An Example of license used:

SERVER my_server 000111111111 27000

VENDOR metrowks port=1063

...

Where:

27000 is the port of license.

1063 is the port for deamon.

Most of the time the floating license must be checked via the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.

By default we used port@host which is

LM_LICENSE_FILE=27000@my_server

If this is not running (case of VPN) you can try the port-daemon@host which is:

LM_LICENSE_FILE=1063@my_server

In some case my_server can be used by the SERVER_IP address.

I know in some cases this solved the problem too.

So this could

1063@10.192.22.140 or 27000@10.192.22.140

Have a great day,
Pascal Irrle
