on Oct 4, 2004Hi,
I installed ADS 2003A on the WinXP, SP1 PC. My licneses were in two parts some of the modules are Node-Locked and some Floating. I configured the licenses correctly as described and I was able to get access to all the modules, Node Locked as well as Floating.
I installed ADS2003C when I got that as update and configured the licenses and I was getting all the licenses required. So, I thought to uninstall ADS2003A, after that ADS2003C has stopped access to the Floating licenses, I am amazed how this can happen, I checked Environment variable etc and everything is correct.
Mind you I am using 2 different license files one for Node Locked and one for floating and both are present in Licenses folder of ADS installation directory.
Any thoughts, why could happen.
Will reinstalling for ADS2003C will help????

It is possible that your floating licenses were dependent on FLEXlm running on your PC. If the lmgrd and agileesofd daemons that were responsible for serving your floating licenses were resident in your ADS 2003A installation tree, uninstalling 2003A would also have removed these two daemons, effectively disabling FLEXlm. Since FLEXlm can no longer start, only the nodelocked licenses would be available at this point.
If this is the case, what you need to do is use $HPEESOF_DIR\licenses\bin\lmtools.exe to reconfigure your license service to use the FLEXlm related files in your ADS 2003C installation.
Start lmtools.exe and go to the Config Services tab. Verify the paths to the lmgrd.exe, license file (floating only) and the debug log file and change them if necessary. Be sure to Save the changes, then from the Start/Stop/Reread tab, stop and then restart the server.
Check your PC's Task Manager (<Ctrl><Alt><Del>) for the processes lmgrd and agileesofd. If both are running, try ADS again to see if it can find your floating licenses.
If ADS still cannot locate all your licenses, please run ADS in debug mode, driving ADS to the point of license error, then email the resulting error log file to Agilent EEsof Technical Support eesof_support@agilent.com ([email:usskfctd]yourname@company.com[/email:usskfctd]) for further troubleshooting. To start ADS in debug mode, browse to $HPEESOF_DIR\bin\ and run ads_verbose.bat.
