  1. questionHow can I solve problems with Automatic Server Discovery when using VMware?
    If you are using a VMware product and have problems using LM-X Automatic Server Discovery, do the following: 1. Verify that automatic discovery works by disabling the VMnet (e.g., VMnet1, VMnet8) adapters. 2. Re-enable the adapters and verify that the physical adapter is listed first in the mac ...

  2. questionUsing dongles under Linux x64 with LM-X v3.3 and v3.31
    For LM-X v3.3 and 3.31, we updated our dongle library from Hasp HL to Sentinel HASP v5.0. Our supplier, Aladdin, does not compile the dongle library under Linux x64 using the -fPIC flag. Unfortunately, this means that you cannot use our shared object liblmx-vendor.so together with dongles. To ma ...

  3. questionProviding demo versions of your software
    Often, you may wish to provide potential customers with demo versions of your software. LM-X gives you a number of ways to supply such users with restricted versions of your software. This section describes some, but far from all, such options LM-X offers. You may find that employing a single m ...

  4. questionUsing a pre-compiled LM-X SDK
    Typically, the first time you use the LM-X SDK, you need to compile it using nmake or gnu make, depending on your platform. This one-time compilation of the SDK creates the security configuration file vendor.lmx (if it doesn't already exist) and compiles examples and platform-specific files. As ...

  5. questionLM-X v3.3 Release Notes
    LM-X License Manager version 3.3 includes the following enhancements and fixes. Most of these changes were made in response to customer feedback. For more information about how we incorporate customer feedback into our development process, see our Knowledgebase article, "Customer-driven developm ...

  6. questionLM-X v3.3 now uses non-obfuscated hostids
    With LM-X v3.3, hostids are no longer obfuscated, thereby making it easier to determine to what hardware item the license is locked and how the licensing is performed. For example, versions of LM-X previous to v3.3 used a 16-digit Ethernet hostid (the obfuscated MAC address of the Ethernet card) ...

  7. questionCan I specify username and hostname for web application checkouts?
    By default, if the application is located on a web server and the client is a web browser, every license will be consumed by the same user (the web server), instead of a license being consumed for each individual client. You can override this behavior by specifying a custom username and hostname ...

  8. questionWhich hostid should I use to lock my node-locked license application to a particular machine?
    A good choice for locking a node-locked license to a particular machine is to use the Ethernet hostid (the MAC address of the Ethernet card). Almost all machines have an Ethernet card, and information about the Ethernet hostid is available on all platforms. For optimal security, locking to the h ...

  9. questionWhich hostid should I use to lock my floating license application to a particular license server machine?
    A good choice for locking a floating license to a particular server machine is to use the Ethernet hostid (the MAC address of the Ethernet card). Almost all machines have an Ethernet card, and information about the Ethernet hostid is available on all platforms. For optimal security, locking to t ...

  10. questionHow many concurrent clients can LM-X support on Linux?
    Under Linux for LM-X v3.3 and newer, the LM-X license server can support more than 10,000 concurrent clients. In order to allow the LM-X license server to use more sockets than the default 1024 for Linux, the Linux kernel must support epoll (introduced in Linux kernel 2.5.44), and you must raise ...

  11. questionUsing CPU cores for node-locked licenses
    Specifying CPU cores for node-locked licenses can be useful in cases such as high-tech computing and application virtualization. This license model enables you to base licensing on the customer's computing resource requirements, increasing the pricing depth for your software offerings. For examp ...

  12. questionCustomer-driven development
    X-Formation releases new versions of software several times a year, as part of our commitment to providing you with the best possible solutions to your license management needs. Our ability to provide frequent, stable updates that solve real issues for our user community is attributable to our c ...

For more information about how we incorporate customer feedback into our development process, see our Knowledgebase article, "Customer-driven developm ...

  14. questionUsing CPU cores for floating licenses
    Specifying CPU cores for floating licenses can be useful in cases such as high-tech computing and application virtualization. This license model enables you to base licensing on the customer's computing resource requirements, increasing the pricing depth for your software offerings. For example, ...

  15. questionHow does LM-X provide compatibility between different versions?
    LM-X is designed to be platform independent and work on a number of platforms. Therefore, you can easily create licenses on one platform and use them on another. Similarly, you can run license servers on one platform and license clients on another. Due to this design, there are seldom any cross- ...

  16. questionWhat are the dependency considerations for LM-X?
    If you have an application using LM-X that is a Windows Service, you must ensure the dependencies for loading the services are set correctly. Failure to do so will result in runtime errors when starting the service automatically at Windows boot time. LM-X depends on the service group "Network," ...

  17. questionHow do I use a HASP dongle with an Ubuntu operating system?
    With the Ubuntu operating system, you should ensure that the usbfs is mounted before installing a HASP dongle. To do this, add the following line in /etc/fstab: none /proc/bu/usb usbfs defaults 0 0

  18. questionWhat Linux compilers does LM-X support?
    For Linux (x86 and x64), LM-X supports the use of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). Other compilers that use output compatible with GCC, including custom compilers, will also work but are not officially supported.

  19. questionUsing dates for version numbers
    To create a license that will work only up to a specific date, you can use dates for major and minor version numbers as an alternative to specifying software release numbers. Since LM-X requires by default that the version in the license file be greater than or equal to the number specified in t ...

  20. questionRehosting or blacklisting a license
    The following example describes how to re-host a user's license or deny a user the ability to use a particular license. You can use unique id, serial number or hostid. Add the particular blacklisting id into the security configuration file (vendor.lmx) and then recompile the distribution to shi ...
