Problems with license

Hello,

 

I'm managing a FlexLM server that is serving a 25 seats floating license of Intel Parallel Studio XE 2016 for Linux clients (all). Now, I'm trying to use one license but from a Windows 7 client. During installation, I have choos "Host Name" (my server) and "Port" (28518), but installation fails with message. If I run a "tcpdump" in my server, I can see a first connection between client and server using port 28518 (in server side), but after that, there are some connections between them using both client ports (not 28518).

 

Can I use a linux floating license with windows clients?

 

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

You cannot use a Linux license running on a license manager to serve a Windows hosted product. You need to add the Windows license also to the server license.

Does this answer your question?

So I'm understanding I need a second flexlm license for windows hosts, aren't you?

Yes, licenses are host-OS bound. For each host OS where Intel tools are running, you need a separate license. But you can manage all licenses, independent from the host OS, with a single license manager.
