Fred, Thank you for confirming my thoughts.
I applied for a new key for the server code generated when the NLM had been installed and without the HLO option installed. When this was applied the system worked without a problem. Simply put... The Hardware Lock (HLO) is not compatible with the Network Licence Manager (NLM) Do not apply the patch LMV3.dll to a server running NLM Ensure you have the correct server code (the one without HLO/patch option installed) SmartCam NLM Server will work on a Windows 2000 server with 95/98 clients (I don't know about NT or 2000 clients as we don't have any) Nigel Webb Industrial Plastic Fabrications Ltd www.ipfl.co.uk Tel 01992 893231 -----Original Message----- From: Lauzus, Frederick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 2:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] Network Licence Keys Nigel While I am not familiar with the problem you described, we do however successfully use the NLM and can perhaps shed some light on the subject. We currently use the NLM on NT workstations with a dedicated NT server running the NLM license server. While I am somewhat familiar with the HLO, but have never personally used it. I do know that the two are not compatible. When using the NLM, only the server code on the machine that is designated as the license server is utilized. The server codes of the separate workstations are irrelevant. When using the NLM client on a local workstation, the file "lmv3.dll" is different than the file of the same name using a local license. I do not know if this is also true when using the HLO. Both the NLM and the HLO require the presence of the Elan network license manager flag file "netelm.flg" in the SmartCAM license key directory. Contents of the Elan License Manager flag file are as follows: This file is needed to keep future installs from over-writing the network license system. DO NOT remove. The path to the SmartCAM license key directory is identified in two places, the "SmartCAM.ini" file and the "Win.ini" file. Example from the SmartCAM.ini file: [ElanLM] Keydirectory=C:\SM9CFG\KEYDIR Example from the Win.ini file: [ElanLM] Keydirectory=C:\SM9CFG\KEYDIR On the workstations you need to make sure the environment variable CMTHOST is correctly set for the name of the server preceded by the @ symbol. This is done by default in the autoexec.bat file during installation of the NLM. This was done mainly for Windows 95 (and 98) support. I prefer to do this in the system properties dialog box on NT systems. This capability is also available for Windows 2000. Currently we don't have any SmartCAM installations running under Windows 2000. I hope this helps. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Nigel Webb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 12:09 PM To: Administrator; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] Network Licence Keys 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.

Anybody know what this means? How can a licence be valid for a DOT?
