IRIX:3.7

IRIX

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Softimage 3D for IRIX, version 3.7 == 

= SUMMARY =

When you try to launch SOFTIMAGE 3D, the following error message appears:

LM_BADCOMM “Invalid returned data from license server [-12,…]”

This indicates the following problems:


 * You have a Client setup (FLEXlm is running on a different machine) and when you installed TCP/IP, you did not include your machine’s IP addresses.
 * You selected DHCP, but do not have a DHCP server.
 * The server has two different names, and your LM_LICENSE_FILE references the wrong one. For example, the SERVER line in the license is IRIS but the machine is also known as INDY and your environment variable is 744@INDY. Change it to 744@IRIS.
