The command lmhostid.bat can be used to find the hostid for the machine.
For complete information about how to install IBM Rational License Server TL, see IBM
Rational License Server TL - Licensing Guide.
Untar the file:
…/license_server/architecture/flex.tar

FLEXnet Version

IBM
Rational License Borrower tool
The IBM Rational License
Borrower tool allows you to check out a license for an IBM Rational application
(connecting to Rational License Server TL) for a specified period. A BORROW license
can be borrowed from a license server system through a special checkout. The
user can then run the application
when the computer is no longer connected to the license server and retain the
license for a specified borrowing period.
User-Based licenses
The user-based licensing scheme has
replaced the per-user license solution. A user-based license uses the FLEXnet
attribute USER_BASED to restrict licenses to specific users of a tool. This is compared
to a floating license, which anyone can use. The users who can obtain a
user-based license are specified in the FlexNet options file for the license
server.
For more information on these
features, see IBM Rational License Server TL - Licensing Guide.

Workaround |
|
N/A |
The reread license file functionality, “ReRead License File” button, in the FLEXnet Windows lmtools.exe application does not work correctly. |
When the license file is changed avoid using lmtools.exe to execute the reread functionality. Instead use one of the following alternatives: 1. Use the command line tool: lmutil
lmreread –c licensefile 2. Stop and restart the license server |
|
N/A |
The license log from the license server will display
a warning message that can be ignored. Example: |
|
|
N/A |
The license log from the license server can occasionally display the following message that can be ignored: "ERROR: Non-activation-capable daemon activation invoked with non-client-request event type" Acresso support has agreed that this is a bug in FLEXnet and that “… there is no implication of this error message in that it does not impact your license server usage, performance and the error can be ignorable.” |

N/A |
Memory leak in the Telelogic license daemon |
When checking out a license FEATURE from a PACKAGE a memory leak occurred. This can cause the license server to crash when memory is exhausted. This is solved by the new version of FLEXnet. This is solved in 1.4 |
|
TLOG#32870, 2081464 |
FLEXnet error -33,376 seen -- bad encryption hand shack with vendor daemon |
This problem was sometimes seen appearing at random. This is solved by the new version of FLEXnet. This is solved in 1.4 |
|
TLOG#34141, 5019142 |
FLEXlm License Manager conflict |

|
TLOG#40530, 1061016, TLOG#34676, 4046064, 4044669 |
The license server dies with the message “Unable to re-open lock file ((null)): No such file or directory” |
The problem has been seen on UNIX. The new version of FLEXnet should solve the issue. This is solved in 1.4 |
|
TLOG#24801 |
The ISSUED attribute in a FEATURE line must use lower case |
When using per-user licenses the ISSUED attribute must have lower case letters to avoid penalties when starting the license server. This is solved in version 1.2 |
|
N/A |
Memory leak in FLEXnet version 10.8.2 |
After issuing FLEXnet 10.8.2, which was used in version 1.1, Macrovision announced that there was a memory leak in this version and therefore they withdrew the version. This is solved in version 1.2, which uses FLEXnet 10.8.2.1 |
