In Serena License Manager ( SLM ) release 2.1.4, the FLEXlm core of SLM was upgraded from release 9.2 to 10.8. As a result, client libraries used in SLM 2.1.4-based product only wait 100ms for a response from the License Server if those clients only specify the name of the SLM server (and not port number as wel).
Communication between Serena License Manager ( SLM ) clients and the SLM server requires two ports: one port to communicate with the generic FLEXlm server component that is part of SLM ("lmgrd"), and one port to communicate with the SLM -specific vendor daemon ("merant").
In the example below, the port is currently random how can we force it to be a fix port number? 11:03:38 (lmgrd) Done rereading 11:03:38 (lmgrd) FLEXlm (v9.2 ) started on ………….. (IBM PC) (11/17/2005)
In the example below the user dmsys requested a shutdown from the node haken-0, and flexlm simply obliged: 12:04:41 (lmgrd) Forced shutdown requested 12:04:42 (lmgrd) SHUTDOWN request from dmsys at node haken-0
