With this problem, the port settings for Adskflex must be set back to 2080. The master daemon will use 9 automatically depending on what is available. Do not try to modify the LIC file or else it.
We have a new licensing server with a new installation of NLM version 11.12.1.4. I registered a new serial number for an Autodesk suite and received a new license file which was added to NLM. I followed the Autodesk steps to configure the NLM. When I run server enquiry, there is an error message: FlexNet Licensing error:-97,121.
After reading similar posts, I reread the license file, disabled antivirus, and made sure that correct lmgrd is selected.
How do I fix this issue?
