Guest IronKevin Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The NLM server communicates using the UDP port 5093 and hence these variables and API will work over different subnets only if the UDP 5093 port is enabled on routers/switches. LSHOST - Set the License Server Name The LSHOST environment variable is used on a computer that is running a protected application. It tells the application one or more license server computers to contact. If this variable is not set then the application will perform a broadcast for any license server that can authorize the application to run. When the variable is set, the application will traverse the list of license servers beginning at the first license server in the list and moving down the list. If none of the specified license servers is found, the application will broadcast to the network, looking for any license servers. Separate license server host names with a : symbol. Example: To tell protected applications running on a Windows 95/98 based computer to send license requests to a computer on the same subnetwork called ACCT_SERVER and, if ACCT_SERVER is not found, to FINANCE_SRV, place the following in the Windows 95/98 autoexec.bat file. SET LSHOST=ACCT_SERVER:FINANCE_SRV LSFORCEHOST - Select a Single License Server You can use the LSFORCEHOST environment variable to force the application to look for only one license server computer. If the license server listed in the variable cannot be found, the application stops broadcasting and returns an error. LSFORCEHOST overrides a LSHOST environment variable or LSHOST/lshost file, and prevents a network broadcast from being done. Example: To tell protected applications running on a Windows 95/98 based computer to send license requests to a computer on the same subnetwork called ACCT_SERVER and no other license server, place the following in the Windows 95/98 autoexec.bat file. SET LSFORCEHOST=ACCT_SERVER This and more info in \Program Files\IronCAD\IronCAD License Server\SLM71sys.pdf IK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Twining Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 ....errr... for those of you who have upgraded beyond Win 95/98, those enviornment variables can be set on a per-user or per system (Win 2K/XP) basis by the following: -Right Click on "My Computer" -Select "Properties" -Goto the "Advanced" Tab -Select "Enviornment Variables" (at the bottom of that tab) Users can set their own variables, but only Administrators can set system variables.

Guest IronKevin Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 yeah, but what about DOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Twining Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) yeah, but what about DOS? 12791[/snapback] Well, if you were smart enough to give ol' Mr. Gates the finger, then your variables could be automatically set using the autoexec.bat file, or you could type it into the C:\> prompt (if you are still using DOS, my guess is that you do a lot of typing at the prompt), but you would likely also need to modify your config.sys file to make a custom entry for running IronCAD, such that you could meet the memory requirements (ahhh...the days of Himem.sys...)....but my guess is that your problems would not end there... ...now if you can get IronCAD to run on DOS, you could probably get it to run in Linux!

Guest IronKevin Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 This is what happened when I ran IronCAD on DOS: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Twining Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'm no expert, but it looks like you may have some hardware conflicts... (mainly that PC conflicting with the BFH that was used on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
