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 host name” is of the form node.domain, where node is the local host name (usually returned by the hostname command or uname -n) and domain is the Internet domain name, e.g., “globes.com.” To ensure success with FLEXlm across domains, do the following: • Make the sure the fully qualified host name is the name on the SERVER line of the license file. • Make sure ALL client nodes, as well as the server node, are able to telnet to that fully qualified host name. 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.
