Well, I actually found the solution before the list did this time. With
a little packet sniffing with snoop and a PC sniffer too I was able to
see that the client was still trying to address my license server
with the simple non-fully qualified DNS name (ie. 'sunny') even
though I had explicitly spelled out the full name in the license.dat
file. Very strange. So what did I do? I put entries in my NIS for my
Sun client that listed my license servers with both fully qualified DNS
and
non fully-qualified imple name so tht itwould resolve to the IP.
I thought, and so does everyone else, that changing the license.dat
so that I had fully qualified DNS names (ie. 'sunny.andr.ub.com') was
enough. Not so. Thanks to all who responded.
Original question:
I'm getting the following error when try'ing to get a license for
one of my FlexLM licensed tools on my Sun Enterprise 450:
Error! ERROR (LM -8): can't find SERVER hostname
"sunny.andr.ub.com, zapper.andr.ub.com,
sparky.andr.ub.com" in network database.
Feature is VERILOG-XL
I think I'm getting this because I've moved my Sun client to
another DNS domain other than the server. If I try from a
client in the same DNS domain as the server all is fine. Is
there anything that can be done to get the licensing to work
well across domains?
I AM able to ping both server from the client and client from the
server just fine.
Thanks in advance,
Ed
