Dave, I've just tried installing NLM on a Win98 machine and got similar results (It wouldn't work) but I have an idea and if anybody could confirm this I would be grateful.
Synopsis SmartCam NLM will not work with the "Hardware Lock Option" installed, If the hardware lock option (with LMV3.dll update) is installed the generated server code and corresponding key from SDRC will only allow that PC ONLY to use SmartCam. It over-rides NLM, hence the NLM reports "Authorization error only valid for ." (ie this machine). What makes this worse is that the server code changes when the "Hardware lock option" is installed, even if the lock device is not attached to the printer port. (I thought it should revert back to the previous server code as the lock could not be found) When I installed NLM with the Hardware Lock installed & attached the server code was what I was expecting. I typed in the key and it accepted it but it would not work with NLM. When I removed the Hardware Lock from the printer port (but not the software) I got a different server code, as you would expect. This server code I sent to SDRC and got a key back. Typed the new key in and it accepted it but NLM would still not work "Authorization failure". When I deleted & reinstalled NLM (to remove the hardware lock software) I got a different server code that my new key will not work with. But if I install the Hardware Lock option and LMV3.dll update the server code changes back to the one I just sent SRDC & received a key for. (Note Hardware lock is not attached to the printer port) My thoughts are : A server code generated after installing NLM & the Hardware Lock software is not compatible with SmartCam NLM. Can anybody please confirm this before I ask SDRC for another licence key for a different server code but the same server.

If so, I would try it temporarily on another non-Windows 2000 PC. I've all sorts of problems with running Smartcam on Windows 2000 as well - especially FFM.

All the stations can communicate with the server using the "Licence Server Test Tool" but they can not run SmartCam, the following error is reported by Smartcam, ERROR 511:There is a network or system licence error. (I do have a valid permanent licence key from SDRC applied to the server) If I look on the server log logfile.txt I see the following information: 01-Aug-15 16:08:36: 30: Authorization failure; key C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\KEYDIR\30.lic only valid for: . Anybody know what this means? How can a licence be valid for a DOT?
