Does FLEXlm work with subnets, fully-qualified names, multiple domains, etc.?
Yes, although this behavior was improved in v3.0, and v6.0. When a license server and a client are located in different domains, fully-qualified host names have to be used. A fully-qualified hostname is of the form: node.domain, where node is the local hostname (usually returned by the ‘hostname’ command or ‘uname -n’) domain is the internet domain name, e.g. ‘globes.com’. To ensure success with FLEXlm across domains, do the following: 1. Make the sure the fully-qualified hostname is the name on the SERVER line of the license file 2. Make sure ALL client nodes, as well as the server node, are able to ‘telnet’ to that fully-qualified hostname. For example, if the host is locally called ‘speedy’, and the domain name is ‘corp.com’, local systems will be able to logon to speedy via ‘telnet speedy’. But very often, ‘telnet speedy.corp.com’ will fail, locally. Note that this telnet command will always succeed on hosts in other domains (assuming everything is configured correctly), since the
