Thanks Stephen, I'm pretty sure all my settings are correct (I always go to XSIsupport.com whenever I have to setup my license again). The only issue is that every time my computer would be restarted the server would have issues and I would need to manually reload the license. It seems to have sorted itself out now, so hopefully no more problems.

I'm pretty sure that hostid is the Ethernet address. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=13587543&li nkID=12544120 On 18/03/2013 5:03 AM, Nicholas Hong wrote: > Hi Sam, > > > - Checking the validity of the license file. > >From the information you provided: > 15:57:41 (adskflex) SERVER line says 3085a99911fb, hostid is ffffffff > > The above shows that your: > MAC / Ethernet address = 3085a99911fb > HostID / computer name = ffffffff > > Open the E:\3D_Programs\Softimage\Softimage2013\Licenses\SFTIM2013enlicense_samwin-37 70K.lic > Ensure that the 1st line of the SFTIM2013enlicense_samwin-3770K.lic reads: > > SERVER ffffffff 3085a99911fb > USE_SERVER > Etc... > > If you have changed your computer name you could either revert to ffffffff or re-generate a new lic file. > > > - Ensuring that the local license server starts automatically. > For the local network license server to start-up automatically, the following settings in LMTools will take care of it: > Open LMTOOLS > "Config Services" TAB > 1.

The problem is that every time I restart the computer the license doesn't work at first. If I restart the server or reread the license everything works, but every time I restart the computer it fails again. > > > > I get this error in the logs: > > 15:57:41 (adskflex) Wrong hostid on SERVER line for license file: > > 15:57:41 (adskflex) E:\3D_Programs\Softimage\Softimage > 2013\Licenses\SFTIM2013enlicense_samwin-3770K.lic > > 15:57:41 (adskflex) SERVER line says 3085a99911fb, hostid is ffffffff > > 15:57:41 (adskflex) Invalid hostid on SERVER line > > > > >From what I've found online it seems to mean that my Ethernet address >> is > wrong, but if that was true it would not work after restarting the server or rereading the license. > > > > Any ideas what the problem could be? > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was > scrubbed... > URL: > http://listproc.autodesk.com/pipermail/softimage/attachments/20130317/ > 31cbcb8d/attachment.html >
