How would I go about either circumventing or removing it for computer archeology/hobby.
I have a 3D driver from the early 90s for Solaris 2.5-2.6 Sparc that uses flexlm to handle license management. Flexible License Manager status on Thu 16:57 License server status: 27000smithj License File(s) on smithj: C:Program FilesMATLABR2007aflexlm. Ask Question Asked 8 years, 7 months ago. The installation of a floating license(s) requires an authorization string, which is specific to the number of licenses (seats) purchased, the expiration date and the PTC_HOSTID for the machine that will run the FlexNet server program. Reverse engineering flexlm license management. The license.dat file may be configured with any number of the following 3 floating license types: Licenses-to-run, Floating Options and Startup Extensions. In the FlexNet server environment any machine configured as a client will be allowed to use floating licenses until the number of licenses purchased has been exhausted. Licensing tool contains two daemons, master (lmgrd/lmadin) and vandor (ptcd) and both of these needs separate port for communication. A floating license refers to a licensing scheme where the permission to execute the PTC product is controlled by the FlexNet server (the PTC License Server). Two ports in license have a logical reason.A PTC Flexnet server can be configured as either a single server or a redundant "Triad" server. Multi-core processor 2GHz or higher support three or more clients, who frequently use the tool. The FlexNet server administers the use of floating licenses configured in its local license.dat file.
