License feature checkout failed:License server machine is down or not responding

[sergio]

Hi,

I am trying to configuring the client in Windows to load the floating license server installed in Linux server. However Filexible License Manager gives the following error:

ERROR: License feature checkout failed:License server machine is down or not responding. See the system administrator about starting the license server system, or make sure you're referring to the right host (see LM_LICENSE_FILE).
Feature: VNL
Hostname:      license_server
License path:  27001@license_server
FLEXnet Licensing error:-96,491.  For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide,
available at "www.macrovision.com".

I know that License server machine is running. How can I resolve this problem?

Thanks,

Maybe the port of vendor daemon is closed by the firewall of your system. You should open the port of vendor daemon in your firewall.  A similar problem for FLEXnet license manager has been reported in the following link and has also been solved there.
