<p>Our LSDYNA network license was operational up until few weeks ago and then stopped. We were’nt notified until recently, so the synopsis is as follows:<\/p><p> <\/p><div class=”ps-post__content ps-js-activity-content ps-js-activity-content–24760″>LSDYNA not Working<br><br>Not sure when, but out LSTC windows service stopped functioning and we were just notified. Manual start of the service fails, so clients are unable to connect. I tried a fresh install of the license manager in a new directory, but service still fails. The LSTC log file displays the following:<br><br>*********************************************************************<br>LSTC license server version 111345 started at Fri Oct 25 09:39:05 2024<br>*********************************************************************<br>Using configuration file C:\\LSDYNA2024\\server_data<br>ERROR: the host id(s) of this machine ( 7D76C756 4699DD69 )<br>not found in the license file C:\\LSDYNA2024\\server_data<br>*********************************************************************<br>LSTC license server version 111345 started at Fri Oct 25 09:47:41 2024<br>*********************************************************************<br>Using configuration file C:\\LSDYNA2024\\server_data<br>ERROR: Could not open configuration file<br>ERROR: Cannot open license file C:\\LSDYNA2024\\server_data<br>*********************************************************************<br>LSTC license server version 111345 started at Fri Oct 25 09:49:23 2024<br>*********************************************************************<br>Using configuration file C:\\LSDYNA2024\\server_data<br>ERROR: Could not open configuration file<br>ERROR: Cannot open license file C:\\LSDYNA2024\\server_data<br><br><br>Additionally, when I try to start the service from the console,<br><br>Timed out trying to start the service<br>Using config file c:\\lsdyna2024\\server_data<br>Error: Could not open configuration file<br>Error: Could not open license file c:\\lsdyna2024\\server_data<\/div><div class=”ps-post__attachments ps-stream-attachments ps-js-activity-attachments js-stream-attachments”><div class=”ps-post__attachment cstream-attachment photo-attachment”><div class=”ps-post__gallery ps-media-photos ps-media-grid ps-post__gallery–single ps-media-grid–single ps-clearfix” data-ps-grid=”photos”><div class=”ps-media-grid-padding”><div class=”ps-media-grid-fitwidth”><\/a><\/div><div class=”ps-media-grid-fitwidth”> <\/div><div class=”ps-media-grid-fitwidth”>Since playing around with this further, I’ve now run into an additional problem.

Therefore the restore that was done on the server, broke the license file we were provided. Now I can’t even run the utility without generating the VisualC error, so I need this fixed asap.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-391857","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":["65.39.8.54"],"_btv_view_count":["471"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_subscription":["471944","100375"],"_bbp_topic_id":["391857"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_engagement":["100375","471944"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["8"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["392424"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["392424"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-11-01 16:23:46"]},"test":"kyle-williamslakeheadu-ca"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/391857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/391857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
