In RLM, an ISV server is a license server for a specific product. For Arnold, the ISV server is solidangle.
So if you see No ISV servers to start in your log:
05/07 15:52 (rlm) RLM License Server Version 11.2BL2 Copyright (C) 2006-2014, Reprise Software, Inc. All rights reserved. 05/07 15:52 (rlm) License server started on StephenBlair-PC 05/07 15:52 (rlm) Server architecture: x64_w2 05/07 15:52 (rlm) License files: 05/07 15:52 (rlm) arnold_eval_90b11c647d93_20150428.lic 05/07 15:52 (rlm) 05/07 15:52 (rlm) Web server starting on port 5054 05/07 15:52 (rlm) Using TCP/IP port 5053 05/07 15:52 (rlm) ... adding UDP/IP port 5053 05/07 15:52 (rlm) (No ISV servers to start)
That means there won’t be a solidangle ISV server running, and there won’t be any Arnold licenses available:
Here’s a couple of licenses that result in No ISV servers to start.
- This license is missing a line break. The ISV line has to be on a separate line; otherwise RLM won’t recognize the ISV statement and won’t find the ISV server name.
HOST localhost 0000coffee 5053 ISV solidangle port=66666 LICENSE solidangle arnold 20161030 28-apr-2015 1 share=h min_timeout=120 start=28-apr-2015 issuer=Stephen customer=00340 issued=28-apr-2015 _ck=fed6ff299c sig="60P0453GDCA9UJKPGJSGAGJK8YWFY 7M2K3CE5F822H1BS2TYR29EKEUCWGY70B9P1FWCTHJCSV"
- This license is a node-locked license, so there is no ISV line, and you don’t need a license server to use the license.
LICENSE solidangle arnold 20150430 30-apr-2015 uncounted hostid=90b11c647d93 start=03-mar-2015 issuer=Stephen customer=00340 issued=3-mar-2015 replace _ck=f9d7d6ce9c sig="60PG4512N1FRJ14HSNHACV 7X25R5KR42PNBWUKR22M09CHC72GE07WRSGKJQJKF54C30FPFKSCG0"
How do I know it is a node-locked license? First, there’s no HOST or ISV lines, and second, it’s uncounted. Only node-locked licenses have the uncounted keyword.
