Error[88]: Operating in stand-alone mode using terminal client.

Dear all,
I just get the license but I have this error :

Sentinel RMS Development Kit: Error[88]: Operating in stand-alone mode using terminal client. This is not allowed by the vendor.
Unable to start license system (Error 88)
Connection to license server lost!
The process for monitoring the license has been killed or tampered by user - shutting down (1)



My system is 64 bit and atk-2009.06 is 64 bit.

Thank you in advance.

The way the license currently works does not allow you to use the license over a terminal connection. You must run the software locally on the host specified in the license file.

Hi Anders ,
I am running the atk and the license file at the same machine.
I am not making client. I am following  the  license manual :

Stand-alone Licensing

To run ATK or VNL using a stand-alone license, the machine they are installed on must be configured using a one-time-only operation. Doing this requires administrative privileges, and is done by running configure_for_standalone_license as root:

sudo install_dir/nlpython/bin/configure_for_standalone_license

This should produce the following output:

Setting up machine for stand-alone license system:
 Success[0] -  System initialization successfully done.

Note, that this operation needs only to be performed once. Once this has been done, the following environment variables need to be set:

export LSHOST=no-net
export LSERVRC=pathto/license_file

where pathto is the full path to the directory in which the license file is located and license_file is the name of the license file.

You should now be ready to run ATK or VNL (no administrative privileges required).


Do you know how I can restart the license configuration?

Thank you very much for the fats reply .

So, I take it you did perform the steps? You only need to - in fact you only can - do it once, it's not really possible to undo it, but it shouldn't be necessary either (don't worry, it doesn't do anything serious to your system, it just copies some files to /var somewhere).

Are you trying to tunnel the X connection to a different computer, that is, even if you run the software on the licensed machine, are you connecting to it via SSH, and trying to run VNL this way? That is also not possible, you really need to sit at the physical machine and run it there (as things are right now, with your current node-locked license).

Hi Anders,
Yes I tried to tune with SSH and X terminal.
So that explain everything. 

Thank you very much for your help and fast answer.
