12.8 running slow

[ramkrishna]

Dear Sir
      When we have upgraded the ATK from 12.2 to new 12.8, it is running (/opening) very slow than the previous version in the same server where 12.2 was there. Is it a internal problem of this version??

My suspicion is that your installation of ATK 12.8 is not able to use your license server because it hasn't been updated to LM-X 4.4, and so each time it needs to check out a trial license, and this is a slow process, really only intended for demo usage.

To solve it, you need to install the LM-X version 4.4.2 server. You can use that with your existing license file, but the server version (3.6.3) used for 12.2 does not support 12.8.

I may be wrong, but this would fit the symptom description. If I'm right, ATK 12.8 will stop working within 14 days of the installation.

Dear Sir,

In our case the LM-x-4.4 is installed in the license server, still ATK 12.8 is a bit slow. We run RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) on our servers, will any linux update speed things up?

Try to verify if indeed the license is checked out from the server - easiest by inspecting the license server logs. I don't know of any particular change that would cause slower startup on Linux - on my Windows 12.8 starts up in 10 seconds or less, although it may depend on how many NC files you have in the directory where you launch it.
