Multiple Orcad License on the same License server

Karvonz
Karvonz over 3 years ago

Hello,

We have in our company multiple license of Orcad PCB associated with their FLEXID USB dongle. We would like to have all the usb dongle connected to a single Windows 10 server computer that would host the flexlm licensing server.

I have succesfully set up the server to host one license using the "License server configuration utility" and I am able to use the license on the client computer. However I don't know how to add to this configuration an another license.

Indeed, if I use "License server configuration utility", it overwrite the first license with the new one.

I have tried to use LMTOOLS to use a second service to start another server license without success. Indeed the second services can't start because of cdslmd already running. See below LMTOOLS debug log of the second service

Do you have any clue or procedure to help me ?

Thank you in advance for your answers,

Best Regards,

Vincent

    Vincent,

    This would be best handled via customer support - either via your distributor (if that's how you purchased the license) or via Cadence support.cadence.com (if direct from Cadence). It certainly didn't make sense in the questions and suggestions forum since that's for non-technical issues with the forums itself - so I moved to what is (I hope) a more appropriate forum.
