[mapguide-users] License issues

[Andy Morsell]

Hi Alex,
I think you should be using the internal IP for the license manager.  I
played around with mine a little and changed my development machine from
dynamic IP to static, restarted the license manager and the mapguide
service, and the license was still seen as being valid - so I'm not sure IP
actually matters (at least after the license file is configured).  
 
I assume that your license manager and mapguide server are installed on the
same machine.  In that case, I think all that matters is that the two can
see each other.  Check your C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\MapGuideEnterprise2007\Server\Bin\serverconfig.ini file to
see if the SerialNumber and LicenseServerPath parameters are correct.  In my
stand-alone installation, my LicensServerPath = @127.0.0.1

I am an ADN member and having troubles getting my license file to work on MG
Enterprise 2007. I generated the hostid file from lmhosts and sent it
autodesk, the license file that was returned did not work - the mapguide
service could not start. 

 

I believe the problem is the IP address of the mapguide machine. I installed
mg enterprise as a site server to run on the following address
http://209.77.234.126:81/ which is an external IP with port forwarding. The
internal IP of the machine is 192.168.1.6. This configuration has been
working fine until the evaluation period ran out.

 

First question, will this configuration cause a problem for the license
server?

Which IP address should I use? LMHOSTS sees the internal addresss, but I
access the mg administrator via the external IP? 

To simplify matters, how can I change the MG site server IP address?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

ps. I'll post my solution when it is resolved.
