Has anyone successfully incorporated a Win95 app that uses FlexLM license manager on a Samba file system. I would be extremely interested in talking with you as we are trying to install Parametric Technology's ProEngineer on our Samba file server. We do have a copy of the Unix version of the license manager, but I am not sure how I can get the Win95 client to talk to it. Any and all help much appreciated!

First install the licenseserver locally on the to-be license machine. And after that install the software on a network drive. The information on how to find the licenseserver is configured during the software installation, so the licenseserver has to be running before the software installation can be started. -- /mvh Kalle Kiviaho - kivi@ios.chalmers.se I just heard the SEVENTIES were over!!

The software is in a share on the Samba fileserver which gets mounted as directory G: In autoexec.bat (Win95) there is a line : set LM_LICENSE_FILE=g:\gen541\license\license.dat The file license.dat on the server is a symbolic link to my UNIX FlexLM licence file which contains licence keys for both UNIX and Windows.

Thanks to all that responded to my query on using FlexLM. Unfortunately, the software we want to serve licenses to Win95 clients does not have a version for Linux, i.e. there is no vendor daemon for flexlm to run. We still want to set up the Linux/Samba server as the repository for the Win95 executables, so my only option would be to install the ProE clients on the Win95 wkstns (on the network drives) and use another Win95 box as the license server. Any suggestions? Carey =====================================================================<> Carey F.
